We have three properties, a home, a lake house and a hunting property, the lake house and hunting property are paid for and we have about 1/8th of the homes value left on the mortgage. I could easily afford to pay it off, but its at 3.125% and the real estate and investments average a lot more than that. In fact last April I was thinking of mortgaging the lake house to invest and I really regret not doing it now.
