Reply #23: We Lost A Home Once to Forclosure - Our Current Home Was Paid Off In 5 Years [View All]

[ThomWV]

And we worked like dogs for that 5 years. Virtually every dime we made went into paying off the house. Everytime we got any money we paid in. We would quite litterly walk into the bank and hand them as little as $35 and tell them to apply it to equity. Our 20 year mortgage was paid off in just over 5 years - and we had a 2 year old child on the day we bought this place.

It can be done. It is not easy. The results are well worth it.
