    Taxes don’t come out of thin air. What you’re proposing is effectively: spend $300k on a house, lose $300k, then lose another $300k from your taxes.

    That’s why you shouldn’t over simplify dumb ideas.

      What I’m proposing you wouldn’t lose the 300k because you still have your house and you’ll get the 300k back over time. And yes taxes don’t come out of thin air, but the whole system needs plenty of overhauling.

        Do you have a house though? Or are you still on a mortgage and now you’re in negative equity, get booted out and still have to pay the debt while being homeless?
