    Not really.
    If you take 100
    You will have pay lets say 45 interest per year
    If you will sell for 100 you will still own the 45 interest plus 5 for fees
    You will have sell for 150 if you would like stay with 0

    What? This isn't right at all. The interest accrues and is paid continually, every month your payment is partly interest and partly capital. If I sell my house tomorrow I don't owe them the outstanding interest on the loan. If you're on a variable rate you can pay your mortgage off in full at any point and save yourself all remaining interest. If you're fixed you can overpay which comes straight off the capital and also saves you interest.
