Really? Paying cash one time seems cheaper than making rent payments all year.

The only cost with a cash house is maintenance and taxes.

I like paid-off.

There is a lost opportunity cost to having capital sitting in your house, which will change value regardless of how much equity is there.

It is also a very inviting target for attorney’s, unless you live in a homestead state and claim it.
