If you do the math on a tax benifit on a mortgage and say that it's better, you can't do math. If your paying interest of 16k to the bank each year for your mortgage at tax time you can only deduct your tax bracket percentage. so if you were in the 25% tax bracket you would only get back 4k. So how is it better to send the bank 16k to avoid sending 4k to the IRS. Personally I would rather pay 4k..
