Il did that: picked up a crumbling Prairie, got a ten year note and paid it off in nine.Then a RE shark decided that he wanted to purchase it on a back tax note and had me blacklisted out of work.
I spent literal years doing yard sales and flea markets until a gal with at least two contractors in the family decided she could hit my car and sue me.
The hospital got the house. I moved into a pickup truck topper. I consider my flea market years to be my early retirement. At 65, actuaries say I’m good until 80 so expect me to be working that long if automation doesn’t catch up with me.
All the same, buy and pay off if at all possible, pay early principal payments, pay every two weeks if you can, and TELL NO ONE when you finally receive that coveted Satisfaction Of Mortgage. It’s the only way I managed to get through five years of blacklist in CheatANewGirl, TN.
