 We bought our house cash 13 years ago,  and today it's up 4x. Had we known about and thrown it all into bitcoin,  and just rented, we'd be in great shape. Another thing we can currently do, that i haven't convinced the wife on yet is to pull an equity line and use it to buy bitcoin. She isn't sold on that yet though 🤣. 
 Buying in cash is integrity. I'd do this if I could, financial disadvantages notwithstanding. Mortgages at low rates are an artificial construct backed by the fed designed to place property ownership in the hands of the banks. 
 Wealth in real estate can so easily pivot from skin in the fiat game to having one’s neck on the line.

I hope humanity achieves escape velocity from this.
