Question I have a loan balance of $680,000. Payments are twice per year with 2.5 years (5 payments) remaining. interest rate is 4.25%. I have the money to pay off or could refinance same term @ 1.5%. I can invest @ 3.5%. What's my best option?
Answer Myself, I would stay liquid and keep the note outstanding.
4.25% is a good rate. There are bargains galore right now in the real estate market. Banks are not lending. Toady, a bank might not even loan you the money that you already have outstanding against your property, as wierd as that sounds.
Cash is now king again.
