> I don't see how this is different. When you buy a house with a mortgage, you are valuing the property as X, and the lender is also valuing the property as X. That's your cost, and no gain yet. If the value increases in a few

If you are using a collateral, you and your bank are basically valuing it and realising some gain from that value.

Well, mortgage might be special because you don't outright own the property until you pay off the mortgage. Now using a paid off property as a collateral to buy another property might be considered as realized gain according to OPs arg

I had looked into it. In my area, I can get 1 Gbps residential service or a 50Mbps business service for the same cost. That speed is ridiculously low.
