Or maybe they realise that anyone with an incontence

I consider it a bad idea to have a multi-level house without
even a half
bathroom on each level.

But if you bought the house when you were 20....

I am living in my 4th purchased item of real estate. A house
purchased
in my 20s would not suit my current needs. I sell and buy as my
needs
change through life.

I guess you're one of those who somehow managed to pay off the
mortgage of the 1st three.

You don't have to have paid off the mortgage to be able to change
houses, stupid.

True. We just put all our efforts into paying our mortgage(s) off
asap.


Wow, I have to thank Mr. Rod for the laugh calling you stupid for
paying off your mortgage.

I didn't, I called the PHucker stupid for being so pig ignorant,
stupid.

You, Rod, are the pig ignorant one. *You* introduced the topic of
selling houses before paying off mortgages hence it is your *skew
factor*, not mine. I am aware of that ability but it was *not relevant*
to my response or the poster to whom I was replying. I was merely
responding to an assumption, correct though it surely was, by another
poster. *You* came barging in acting like a dick, as you often do.

On my third house and, of course, no mortgage. My secont house
started at 15% and re-fi a couple of times. Can't say I've done
everything right over the years but I knew retirement would be much
better with no debt.

A LOT of prople switch houses numerous times without ever paying off a
mortgage


I don't see the point. You pick a house you like, then upgrade if and
when you can afford it. That would only be once you've paid off your
mortgage entirely, otherwise you're just getting deeper into debt.


Needs and circumstances change at will and rarely when you have paid off
the mortgage.


That last isnt true of downsizing, its very common
to have paid off the mortgage in that situation.

- moving up, moving sideways, or moving down.


DOWN!? Intolerable to move to a smaller space.


Retirees and empty nesters do it all the time. I went slightly
differently, smaller block of land, larger house.


It was an advantage for the folks selling our house when we bought - it
had a transferable mortgage at 6 1/4% when the going rate was 20-22%.


Wow! When was it that high? I thought mortgages had always been 3-6%.

We still had a mortgage on the house we moved out of too, but the equity
in house#1 allowed us to pretty much pay cash to the existing
mortgage. We payed off that mortgage before buying a gallon of paint
to do any redecorating.


So you bought a house worth less than your old one?!
