But you can sell the house couldn't you? And if the house is totally paid off, whatever you sell the house for, all the money goes into your bank account. Whereas if you owe money on the house, you will only get what's left. Am I right?
But I don't want to sell my house - I like it.
If I'm stashing money away in cash along the way, I can use that during any low periods and I get to stay.
