Mortgage is a liability |

I wish more people treated their home as a liability rather than an "investment".

It is a liabilty when you first purchase it.
As you maintain/improve it and make payments on it, it becomes an asset. An asset by def is an item of ownership convertible into cash, which a house is. |

I own a structure called a house.
In order to purchase this structure, I got SECURED loan. The value of the home after the loan agreement is irrelevant. It's mine. Its an asset. Basic stuff |

both
it's an asset until something happens to it and makes it a liability
