    Yes agreed. But they still ride inflation because they create it. You were supposed to pay 1,000,000 but stopped at 7000,000? They’ll sell it for 1,300,000 and someone will buy it. If not, someone will buy it at the loss. That one bank loses the 300,000, but another bank makes 1,000,000 because someone will buy it. Say your monthly was $350 and you stop paying. The bank then takes the home and pays a Realtor to sell it. A few months later they are making $450 a month. They just lost some time on it. If you pay it completely then another bank eventually owns the house when you sell one day.

      Any profits from a foreclosed home go to the evicted homeowner. Banks do not make money on foreclosures. Banks do not want to foreclose on you, they want you to pay your bill.
