I sort of regret paying off my 2.5% 15 year mortgage early. A 2 year CD is now at 3% a 5 year CD well above that. If i left the same money in such such a laddered product, it would have been free earned interest. Many of you that kept with your ridiculously low 15 and 30 year fixed loans when rates were around 3% are going to make out like bandits. You won’t be able to rent out a comparable home these days at comparable monthly costs, so what motivation would you have to sell?[/quote]
same reason I resisted paying off my 2% student loan…
