You aren't entitled to ownership of a single house, either.


This is an English sentence with grammatical structure, yet no coherent meaning.

If I can be approved for a mortgage or have cash on hand, and have someone agree to sell me a house, and I sign a contract with them to purchase said house on such-and-such a date, and I fulfill my end of the deal and don't default on the contract, then yes, I am entitled to ownership of a single house. Because I bought it fair and square, and it's now legally mine. Just like if I were to stop making payments on said house, the bank would then seize it, and then I wouldn't be entitled to own that house any more, because I defaulted. This is not rocket science.
