Low Mortgage Interest Rate vs. Future Gains: Is Trading Up Worth It? - 448

Coach Dobber and his wife in Edina, Minnesota have a low mortgage interest rate and a decent amount of home equity. Should they put that equity to work and take the risk on buying a higher value home at a reduced price, even if it means a much higher interest rate and higher monthly payments too? Plus, Joe and Big Al spitball for Adam, in the birthplace of aviation, on the taxation of passive rental income, and capital gains from his portfolio and the sale of his business, prior to his early retirement. They also spitball for Charles in Idaho, on taxes on the sale of his mother-in-law's house. And should Dan's wife and business co-owner retire from the business and take Social Security Disability? And will Social Security be reduced for everyone? Steve in Vegas has a cautionary tale to tell. Timestamps: 00:55 - Stay With a Low Mortgage Rate, or Buy Up at a Reduced Price?
