JLova is a clown and really exposed himself, the way he was dancing in this thread.
He tries to act like Dwight would've been smarter getting a mortgage than buying outright. He backs this up by claiming there are "plenty" of low risk investments that yield 5-10%. When asked to name them, that number magically drops to 2-3% and he tries to act like that drop is insignificant. Not only is that drop significant from a purely mathematical standpoint since it's a much lower return, it's extremely significant in the context of THIS discussion since your low risk investments went from beating the mortgage rate to not beating the mortgage rate.
Now, he's back harping on how he shouldn't buy a $20M house at all..that's a nice opinion, but it ain't your money. The point from the beginning was that once he decided he wanted it, the best option was to buy outright.
Just like buying a Bugatti is not a smart way to spend $2M....if you ignore the fact that the buyer wants fukking Bugatti.
