Nonsense claim.

A mortgage is an extremely leveraged investment at preferable rates. Your statement is extremely sensitive to the change in home prices (generally rising), the change in stock prices, and interest rates.

My home has been making an unrealized 11% per year (disgusting) on a much larger pool of money than I actually had to invest. The economics of renting and investing the leftovers are deeply unfavorable.
