Without going back into that paying off the mortgage thing, what do y'all think about this:
My credit union is offering a 4.5% 5/1 mortgage with a 4.21% apr that I would easily qualify for. $300 back on the closing costs which I'd guestimate at $1500-2000.
I was starting to think that at these rates, perhaps it'd be a good idea to have a little mortgage that I'd pay off when the 5 year fixed portion expires.
The one catch is that at this moment in time, I cant see anything investment wise thats just screaming "buy me!" that I'm not already waist deep in.
Taking one out for $100k would put me at about a $500 a month payment.
Whats the thinking on this. I'm reminded of the "when its raining money, run around with a bucket" comment...
