I bet you have some savings somewhere that are earning nothing.
Pay it off. What better way to get 5% return on your money.
And when your kids go to college, they don’t look at your home when doing financial aid. They will look at how much money you have in savings.
Hide it in the house, if you have kids going to college soon. Your kids will qualify for higher financial aid.

Talk to a mortgage broker – they can do all the legwork for you.
