Homeowner :: 30 years at 6.9% = Profit? I don't think so.

Anyone who thinks that a house is an "investment" clearly has not owned one a day beyond its warranty. The options are either do-it-yourself or fork over greenbacks. The proposition could only be worse if your house were also a boat, in which case you'd be living in a hole on the water and possibly on the set of an 80s cop show.
