A bank will lend you loan if you have a house, but they won't lend you anything even if you have a Ferrari.

It might sounds like a burden to your shoulders, but it is a very good asset.

Personally, I respect you made a wise choice of buying a house.

cheers!!
I bought a Z06 instead of a house. Since I plan on moving in less than a year, I think it was a good choice for sure. Offloading the Z06 and getting a 370Z as soon as the new 2012's arrive the way I want them here in the US.

Yes, the bank will extend me a loan even without a house, apparently.
