I asked for an alternative way to finance a house. You either save up yourself or you borrow from someone who has the assets. I don't see a third option.

Yeah ofcourse it would be nice if my mortage didn't have interest or had really low one like it did up untill about a year ago. I'm not against that if my bank decides to offer me such option but that's just fantasy and in no way relevant to the discussion. Ofcourse it would be beneficial to the vast majority of people if the wealthiest ones would settle for less. That's unfortunelately just not the case.

I totally agree with you. What I want is pie in the sky. Without regulation, nothing will change.
