I think they mean paying a mortgage too. Paying off a house by 36 seems to require either a ton of money or a very, very cheap home.

One still owns a home when buying with a mortgage. The lender places a charge on the property while a balance is outstanding, therefore in addition to owning the property you also own the debt secured against it.
