No idea. I'd never heard of it before I ran across the commercial. It might be fun though since I actually have a 360 and a Kinect.

We're getting dangerously close to the point where I'm going to need to do a lot of research about property taxes, school districts, builders, children, etc. Ahhhhhh!

How about a Neg Am? Those are fun.We're going to have a very small mortgage, or no mortgage. It depends on how much we want to spend out of our nest egg. We may just pay it off and then reimburse ourselves but we would lose a lot of investment gains/dividends. We'll see

Morgtage rates are actually really decent right now even if they are going to get worse in the near future. You'd often be better off purchasing a house with a mortgage and investing the rest of the money.

Excatly - this is a numbers game. If you can get a mortgage for 2-3% versus returns of 5+ in the market.. take the loan. To top it off, interest is tax deductible from your income so that makes your effective mortgage interest rate just that much lower.

Why would you do that? You want a mortgage for the biggest percentage possible! Never do that. This is terrible, terrible financial planning. Just throwing money away.

This is huge, but only one part of it. Mortgage rates are basically much farther below long term interest rates than this implies. It's more like a 5% gap if you are being smart and conservative.
But the really big deal is that interest from investments is taxed. But interest owed on a mortgage is a tax shelter. If you don't have a mortgage, you are more exposed to earnings.
Even without the tax shelter advantage of a mortgage (say you had no jobs and were purely living off of savings for the rest of your lives) skipping your mortgage, especially during one of the best mortgage markets in history, would be financially reckless.
