How this affects what kind of mortgage to get First, you might be better off renting
instead of buying. Buying is a long-term
investment and ties up your cash, while renting
keeps your cash liquid. However, you might want to buy a house anyway
so you can leave it to heirs who might have a
difficult time purchasing a house
themselves. Whether or not you have heirs, if you do buy
a house, get a 30-year loan. If you're not going
to live long enough to enjoy the benefits of
paying off your house, then don't bother trying
to pay it off quickly. Get a long-term loan so
your payments will be lower and so you have more
short-term cash available in the years you have
left. Your heirs will inherit the house, and will
be responsible for paying the mortgage. Don't
fill bad about "sticking" them with the a
30-year mortgage -- they're getting whatever
equity you have in the house for free, and it's
a super deal for them to inherit the mortgage
since they get the house with it. If they don't
like the 30-year mortgage they can always pay it
off quicker. « Back to
