re: What's the most amount of money you'd put down on a new house? It would be a new build.

I’d put as much down as possible with 7% rates. Meh. Treasuries and hysa are paying ~5% That’s not that big of a delta to give up as much liquidity as possible. not to mention, mortgage interest is deductible, earnings are taxable. This tightens the delta even more. I would put down enough to avoid mortgage insurance.

Is it? I thought something changed when Trump was in office but maybe it’s just writing off a proration of your mortgage when you work from home.

I just know if it is I don’t have enough write offs to get higher than the standard deductible.
