Default Re: Would it be better to invest or pay down mortgage?

The only problem is that your 6% will remain fixed but your 9% return may not, in fact you could lose your entire investment and be broke and still have a mortgage. Now if you are talking about Bill Gates type of money his ROR is so low it would never matter either way but in your example of 5 million the ROR may be a deciding factor.
