If your interest payment is $8,125Your stocks have to make a dividiend of about $11,000 of which you would prolly pay 15% to 25% in federal / state taxes / NIIT.Assuming you will make a 10%-11% return is not guaranteed.You will also feel good about having a paid off property(relief).Furthermore, your credit score may go up with a paid off property.Best of luck!
