Plus, you need a much higher return than 3% to make the math work. I don't know what it is, but I'm guessing 10+ percent to make it worth the trouble.

Bottom line, having a paid for home puts you in a very good position to have choices and security.
Your 10+% guess is wrong. Way wrong. LOL

But I don't disagree that it is not for everyone. Not everyone has the risk tolerance to leverage and make their money work for them.
