Four questions to find your door

Do you want to own your next home?

If ownership matters for roots or legacy, Doors A or B. If flexibility and zero maintenance are the priority, Door C.

How important is maximizing liquid assets?

Door C keeps all {{example.investable}}. Door B keeps significantly more than Door A. Door A keeps the least.

Is eliminating a monthly mortgage payment a priority?

Doors A and B both avoid a monthly mortgage P&I payment. Door B also keeps far more of your proceeds working.

What is your legacy goal?

Door A preserves the most home equity for heirs. Door C preserves the largest investment portfolio. Door B is in between - balance grows, reducing heirs' equity.
