Right, but isn't the distinction that you are paying principle, which in essence buying equity? It isn't free cash flow, but there's a big difference between putting money towards principle and paying a bank interest.

I am not saying it's reasonable or unreasonable for home interest to be tax free. Just that the difference impacts your disposable income.
