Financing house purchase in the west : buying a house in the USA

Fatawa Question

As Salaam Alaikum : is there any difference in interest (Riba) from the bank and buying a home or car ? Notes : because I live with my Mother and younger brother and we pay 600 dollars a month for a 1 bedroom apartment. And there are homes around our city for 520 dollars a month including interest for 4 bedrooms house. Is that Haram to pay interest for a home ? And about the car I am a student and I have to ride public transportation because if I pay payment on a car which is $ 320 for a month including interest I was told it would be Riba and that’s Haram. Can you help me understand better about Riba. Jazakallah Khairan sorry for the long notes. Best regards
