The mortgage interest tax deduction by itself is enough to refute you.

I'd imagine practically no one actually takes that because the standard deduction is more lucrative. Unless you live in a far above average priced home with a jumbo loan.

Mortgage interest deduction is capped at $750K of debt, conforming loan limits are $760K+, so doesn't apply to jumbo loans.
