Omega that is an interesting strategy and I have been pondering about whether to pursue a similar plan when I buy as well. I watched my parents invest alot of money in bonds in the 80s. Every few months they would put as much in as they could to purchase 30 year bonds and those were fantastic income generators for them. So your strategy makes alot of sense in an environment where you sense double digit inflation rates in the future.
By the same token, putting a buku downpayment and paying off the home early is not bad because of all the money you save in not paying any interest. One simply needs to plot the data to see what works better for them.
