That is almost a mortgage in it's self and the rates are only climbing.
we took out a mortgage because we didn't cash out up north. We still have our northern home. We had to show our income stream from our Social Security and our IRAs etc. I think many do sell their "northern" home and have the cash to not take out a mortgage.
