Default Re: Is Your Home An Asset or Debt Trap?

I don't know about a debt trap, but it can become a liability even when it's owned. I live in South Florida, and our property taxes and homeowners insusrance is killing us. Many are not renewing their insurance because they can't afford it. I can't imagine how anyone can buy a house even with principle and interest and then have to pay escrowed payments of taxes and insurance based on todays inflated rates.
