Hi All,
I am considering moving out of state. With the equity I have in my home, I could either buy a home outright, or finance 80% (or something in between). I've been reading on the net and it seems that IF (big if) you can earn more interest from investments than the interest on your mortgage, you should finance the home and invest the cash. Most of the articles assume a 10% or 11% annual return on the cash. That seems VERY high to me. I get 5% on CD's and my 401k isn't much more than that. Where do you get 10%?? What is the break even point where it makes financial sense to buy the house outright? Thanks for the free advice.
