It may be worthwhile to pause for a few months, regardless of your choice.

Am I missing something else that might not make this strategy worthwhile?

You're likely to get answer(s) and likely to be able to tell which are worthwhile.

For the proprty tax i get a 3% discount for paying it if full before the due date so i figure that is worthwhile. 

The ROI could be worthwhile. 

I was looking over in Gatineau and found some places that might be worthwhile.

As for me, becoming semi-known here has been worthwhile for me.

Unfortunately the current floor plan didn't give us any good ways to add a bath to the existing footprint so we would have had to actually add sqft to the structure; which ended up not having the right roi to be worth while

Sometimes the incremental savings from $1,000 to $2,500 or from $2,500 to $5,000 are too small to make the higher deductible worthwhile.

I've made my money back and then some, so it was a worthwhile investment for me...
