I think nothing special in selling house. House is a possive. You could turn it to an active. One friend of mine lended house and sold his Lexus in May. He returned it in September and made x2 in dollars. So it depends on you.

Exactly my point. You will be better off making the smallest down payment and then getting a 30 year mortgage and keeping the rest in bitcoin.

I know it's old fashioned but I like the idea of just owning it outright from the start.

Nothing like the security of owning your own place outright. Congrats bro!

I second that. Your Housing is not an investment. Own it bro.

I halfheartedly disagree. Can you say you really own something when you need to keep paying for it every year?
In OP's case, he'll need to pay at least a thousand dollar a year every year until he sells it, or until it gets repossessed for not paying.
As to whether or not it's an investment, that depends a lot on where his house is. But even with flat property prices for many years, the current low interest rates, and widely predicted upcoming higher interest rates create an arbitrage opportunity, and a mortgage on a primary home is one of the easiest ways to make that play.
