Episode 18: Are Mortgages Actually a Scam? Let’s Talk About It
Mortgages get a bad reputation.
You borrow money, pay interest for years, and may end up paying significantly more than the original value of the property. So… are mortgages actually a scam?
In this episode of Financial Freedom Now, hosted by Toyin Ayandare, we take an honest look at mortgages and the role they can play in property ownership and wealth creation.
Rather than simply labelling mortgages as good or bad, we break down how they work, what you’re really paying for, and the factors that can determine whether borrowing helps or hurts your financial position.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
• What a mortgage actually is and how it works
• Why you can end up paying more than the property's purchase price
• The difference between productive and expensive debt
• How interest rates and loan terms affect the overall cost
• When leveraging borrowed money can make financial sense
• The risks people often overlook when taking a mortgage
• What to consider before deciding whether a mortgage is right for you
Whether you’re thinking about buying your first property, building a property portfolio, or simply trying to understand how mortgages really work, this conversation will give you a clearer perspective.
Because debt isn’t automatically good or bad — the strategy behind it matters.
