Are you accounting for the fact that if you pay off the house you are now living rent free with only maintenance + property taxes + insurance?
Would the difference between rent vs buy be enough to draw down at what is considered a safe rate of 4% to pay for some place to stay - ie if you could save $1000/month by renting instead of having a paid off house would you be able to have an extra $300,000 (12000/.04)?
