My advice is be honest with yourself. Don't rationalize and say I had a bad year or I can do better in this new style market etc but be honest. Go through your records and figure out what your rate of return has been on your cash over the last few years.

Then figure if your rate of return on your cash beats the interest on your loan. Also remember that interest isn't equal in that your mortage will be front end loaded as you pay the interest up front while your investment returns will compound the other way.

If your are making 10% returns on your cash, I would take the cash, if you have been making 5%, I would leave the equity. BWDIK

Good Luck,

Lee
