I get that argument. Say if the house is $300k. I can put the 20% down and throw the other money into a Total Market ETF or something similar. If I pay in cash, I'd lose out on that potential compounding returns.
But the other side of me loves the debt-free philosophy on life (e.g., Dave Ramsey). I like not having payments to take care of each month.
Am I thinking of this correctly?
