re: shifting stock funds into real estate This is certainly true in our case at home. Recently we were looking at refinancing the remaining eight years of our 7.25 percent 15-year note into a 10-year, 6.49 percent note. The other option is to pay off the remaining eight years of our present note in one lump sum. On the surface, the refi looked real good. Much lower monthly payments, and we could always pay it off early if we chose. After running the numbers and examining them closely, however, the clear money-saving choice is to pay off our present note in cash as soon as possible.
