However, once the house is paid off, I'm left with an asset that is worth significantly less, while having paid the same amount. Also, I'm still stuck paying the higher taxes.
Where are you at? The property taxes vary a lot. For example, in the Fort Worth city limits the taxes are probably 30% higher than if you move to the county west of the city.
