SO what if you take a small mortgage and change your mind later? Wish you had invested more instead? In a lot of cases I Really see little difference.

ETA: I agree on not gambling with money against my home, but I would hardly see an investment like a ROTH, at my age (with 40+ years to grow) as a gamble. Something more what I Was thinking of why I would borrow.
IMO, if you want more money to invest, buy less house and cars and toys and so on.
