Hey chief ,,,,,,53 % is the number quoted by the guy that started this thread!!!

Itemize what???not the insurance. The property taxes? with the current federal income tax program, I would need to lose a lot more bucks to qualify as a deduction.

Liquidity right now is far more important than a larger asset. And if you want to take out a mortgage at todays rates to pay insurance and taxes, go ahead and do it.

Yes, that's HPA - not tax assessments. As I stated, tax assessments usually lag AND stay below max home values.

You've missed the point. Let's say you had a $300K house that went to $450K. If the markets fall apart or you get shown the deal of a lifetime or whatever, you can borrow on a HELOC to invest in that. etc.

I love this thread though - house prices up a lot, people still mad at politicians. Houses go down slightly - people still mad at politicians.
