I do like that theory. Unfortunately my wallet disagrees with it.
Thankfully we’ve locked it in for 2.2% for 20 year, and semi-realistically we should be able to pay it off before that runs out. But the official period is 30 years, since that’s the legal maximum.
Pay off over 15 years if you can or you’ll pay about double the total value just from interest.
