But the hard truth is it’s a terrible deal for the homeowner and an outstanding deal for the banks and investors.On a $500K mortgage at today’s rates, moving from a 30-year to a 50-year only shaves off about $90/month in payment. 

Damn, 2020-2021 was wild...

But, it's damn expensive to live these days.

But they have those damn magnets telling guests that 4 star reviews are bad.

I'm not vouching for the advice it gives, but the advice given about how to monitor is pretty damn good.I cut and pasted your exact question from above and here's the advice it gave. 

You have a term life insurance policy large enough to pay off the outstanding mortgages at your death, so the kids get the houses tax free and mortgage free.
