15 year loan, so you’re not paying an assload of interest to the banks/lender.

This is one area I'll disagree. 30 year is more advantageous. I get most won't make the extra principle payment, but it's not too difficult to make a 30 a 15 year by making additional principle payments. If shit gets rough you can just pay the minimum payment on a 30 year and then start up the bigger payments as you get back on your feet. The problem is when people get a 30 to max out their borrowing amount. Which is what most will do.
I'd also like to see people close to 20% home debt to income. 25% Isn't bad, but pretty much fool proof starts at 20% or lower. I'm at 7.2% and don't lose an ounce of sleep at night over my living situation. My wife and I could work at Home Depot and Crate and Barrel and easy pay our mortgage. Fortunately we don't have to.
if you call a number on yelp search results, its some fucking reseller middle man every time.

When you are as old as some of us are, a longer term mortgage probably is advantageous, as in the mortgage will outlive is.

One who dies with the most debt - wins bigly!

I also don’t understand all the 15yr loan hype.
Life is unpredictable, get the 30yr and if you choose, pay it off as a 15yr (or a 10yr, or whatever duration you want)
Fuck the tiny interest rate difference between the two.
