That's the way I lived all my life. I can't imagine another way, though I never owned a house that you can't own in the u.s., anyway. The government owns it. Read your so called deed. And see how long you can keep your house if you don't pay property taxes. Not to mention there's that eminent domain thang if they want your property.
