Home loan

A mortgage, also known as a debt or loan, is an amount of bells that is required to pay off in order to buy and expand a player's home. After the player pays off the mortgage once, the price will increase. Once the house is fully expanded and paid off, the player will usually get a reward. In, after the player pays off their mortage, they will have a statue put up of them in front of the train station. In, the player will receive a flag in front of their house that custom designs can be placed on. Paying off the mortgage in unlocks theme challenges run by Lyle at the Happy Home Academy. In, paying off the final mortgage will cause any future exterior renovations to be completely free for the player.
