California is fucked. That house would go for 145k here tops.

I own mine free and clear with a 25k heloc for emergency.

If you get a 10+ mortgage, you aint making no money. Just as much in interest as the principal.

Congrats on 1 less payment.

Edit, if you only paid 140k you'll make some money if you get the assessed price.

It's in a very nice neighborhood in Sacramento. It would be worth a lot less, just a few miles away.......

Congratulations!
I own my home free and clear too.
It is great to all of a sudden not have to pay a large monthly bill.

Anyone paying a mortgage should look into refinancing.
If I had 3.5-4.5% interest, I would have saved about $300 a month for over 10 years.

Which would have been $36,000.
