Piggs, I have been a loyal reader for 3 years. Sold my house that I bought in 1998 at the peak in 2006. Rented it back from ther “inverstor” that I sold it to. Three years later, he lost it in foreclosure and I bought it back at the Trustee Sale for less than I paid in 1998.

So here’s my question, since I now own the house free and clear, should I take out a mortgage at todays low rates and invest the proceeds? If inflation appears wouldn’t I be better off?
