We're at HISTORIC low mortgage rates.... and the rates of return on our investments should far out pace a FIXED mortgage. Think about this over a 10 / 15 / 30 year time frame.... surely our interest rates won't go down much from here... but they certainly could RISE from here.... So put yourself in a position to pay 4 and earn 8....

Greg, that is my plan, and I am sticking to it. Some people would say , why would I take a 30 year loan, when I am 52 years old ? At 3.5%, why not ?
I can beat that long term easily. It took years for my Wife to get that, but she understands now. She wanted to throw more at the principal until I showed her the numbers.
