@Mindy Jensen  ya that's a tough one expecting the brokerage community to embrace you when you want to pay 2k BAC on a 700k deal... of the public just see's their stuff on line tells their agent I want to see that house.. and agent is stuck.agents won't show their listings if they have a choice I am sure of that.But it is Ameruca so free enterprise at work.

Based on where you at now, paying off your mortgage and continue to grow steadily will easily get you there in the next 10 years with minimum stress and headache (minus WWIII happening, JK)If you are someone who are aspire to maximize growth, have a f*k you money and want to get into politics and expand your influences, and also prepared to embrace the headache and stress that come with that lifestyle, then you wouldn't want to pay off the mortgage but put your money somewhere else that would give you maximum return.

People also seem to be embracing more minimalism where they don't want to accumulate stuff.
