Servus Halal Mortgage: The Real Numbers Are In

Is the new Servus Halal mortgage the right choice for you?

Then I crunched the numbers, comparing the total cost to both conventional mortgages and renting.

The results are fascinating, and they all lead to a simple, three-step decision framework you can use to decide for yourself.

Whatโ€™s meant for you in this life runs after you more than death runs after you.
