My humble opinion is that you really need to develop budgeting muscles.  

My husband and are researching buying(or partnering to buy--we could go either way) multifamily housing (or mobile home park or self-storage) in our "neck of the woods". 

Keep the balance at zero dollars, pay the $75/year maintenance fee (or whatever the nominal fee is).Reasons:- First and foremost, now that you owe $0 on your primary residence, you can paint the door red in accordance with the ancient Scottish tradition (and BP members everywhere will know you as a heretic for not being mortgaged up to your neck).- You also have liquidity that is the envy of REI everywhere.

Just wanting to see who can flex those RE muscles the most. :-)

The tenants didn't see me fall.Ended up with 2 skinned knees, bruised palm and some pulled muscles in my shoulder.
