What would be the advantage for either of us under the following "sale price vs interest rate" scenarios.Selling price of 180K at interest rate of 4% @ 15 years vsSelling price of 170K at interest rate of 5% @ 15 yearsvsSelling price 160K at interest rate of 6% @ 15 yearsAll of those scenarios would offer roughly the same income of 240K over the life of the loans.
