All fair points, thank you for sharing. I guess in a crazy overvalued property market, the huge mortgage down payment does make the biggest difference since compound returns on that same investment could be huge in the stock market (until of course an AI crash wipes out all our investments and retirement accounts). In a less overvalued market property may make more sense.
