Upto and until when the mortgage interest rates are either equal to or lower than the rental yields(8-12%) will mortgages make economic sense. As it stands mortgages are for guys with lazy investment minds.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

Shocking we have people in support of Mortgage this day. It Puzzles!! Pray Pray
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..

@Am You still think that in such matters there's an absolute right way and the wrong way?
You will know that you have arrived when money and time are not mutually exclusive "events" in you life!

Take the simple scenario currently playing at Coop. Two employees earning same salary, one with loans and the other without. Who is the biggest beneficary if both are retreched?
Ofcourse. The one without is far better off. Debt is from the devil
Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Applause Applause Debt is from Devil,Loans from Lucifer. Gains from God,Returns from Rabii. i don't know where Tax came from especially CGT ....
Caesar! Give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar. Given the two scenarios above, I'd say the one with loan IF HE IS WISE! Supposing the loan is a mortgage, he can sell off the house, pay off his mortgage and will be left with something.... as opposed to the one without a loan, who has nothing. Even better is, there is a 40% rebate. If the 'handshake' is sufficient enough to repay the 60%, the fellow has a house at much reduced costs!

Exactly my point Bwana Mukiri. Plus majority of the 160 guys have worked 10 to 15 years. The wise ones who took mortgages have properties that have increased in value more than 100% and they used Coop money to get there. The unwise have wasted a lot of money on rent and can't claim a thing from their landlords. If the wise were to sell their property they have money to reorganise themselves and may not need to seek employments again. Happy Holidays and Blessed 2015.

A Merry Christmas and Happy and Prosperous New year to you too. Let us hope that we'll all be more braver and/or wiser, in the coming year.
