Have had 2 mortgages on homes which were sold and "paid off". Of course, they were not actually "paid off" just added to the big debt clock in times SQUARE. Both were fanny/Freddy before the big drop. I saw it all getting ready to crash and got out of both houses just before it all went down.

Both were before I knew anything about 12 USC 411 or the scam of fractional reserve lending, promissory notes, federal reserve debt etc.
I currently have no mortgage.
