      If you have a mortgage, you do not own your home. It can and will be taken away from you the second you are disabled or otherwise out of work.

      This is a false statement. You predicated your argument on this false statement. The rest of what you said has a modicum of truth, but the core principle you used to prop up your argument is false.

      Just go back and re-base your argument on something other than the idea that a house isn’t owned until it is completely paid off. Drop that claim, and the rest of your point is perfectly valid. Keeping that claim undermines your credibility. You don’t need that claim to be true to make your point; there is no sense in dying on this particular hill.
