In a deflationary spiral the last thing you want to have is a mortgage.

You can't. But you can have a severely depreciating house.

There used to be negative amortization mortgages. You could pay on it for ten years and end up owing more than when you started. They were outlawed after the S&L crises in the early 90s.

It was a beeeatch. People couldn’t refinance ‘cause their homes didn’t appraise for what they owned on it.
