I also strongly believe in not just talking the talk, but also in walking the talk. For example, my personal home is currently financed at a fixed rate of 5.4% locked in for a 25 year term. Yes it's locked in for 25 years! 10 years wasn't even enough for me, I went for 25 years. This is my personal margin of safety. Everyone has to decide what their margin of safety is, and hopefully it will be a mortgage with a term longer than 5 years before they have to refinance. Hi Paul,
