Inadvertent Quote of the Day
by Ken Houghton
In the "ownership society," equity is all, and voting with your feet becomes the right thing to do.
Louis Hyman sends a shudder through Ken Lewis's heart:
Homeowners cannot build equity in an overvalued house, no matter what the terms of the mortgage.
In the "ownership society," equity is all, and voting with your feet becomes the right thing to do.

While I see where the post is going, isn't it totally wrong? As in, my fully amortizing payments on my mortage and equity loan increase my net equity regardless of whether The Ranch is valued "correctly."
You're only building equity cet. par.; if the asset is declining in value, your payment would be better used elsewhere (as in, a savings account, since the RFRoR will never be < 0).
