Well that's part of what I havent decided. If new house is >$250k I can buy it cash with equity, if its over $250k I need mortgage. I can find houses that will serve the purpose around $250k, but I don't love any of them. If I go to the $400k-$450k mark there are better options with more land, but then I'm back to having mortgage.

I'm part owner in another business, but I don't handle the accounting for that and I need the K1 from that business to do mine and they take forever!
