But this way we get out under it faster and should things go south before we finish paying off the van note they can come take my van... but they can't come and take my house.

It is tempting sometimes to take a loan against the house and pay off everything. That would lower our monthly expenses tremendously. But I am very determined to keep a lien off of this house. I have a house and 3 acres free and clear and I don't want to ever ruin that.
Yes, there is a certain amount of security in that. I waffle between paying off the mortgage and using the money to create cash flow with good debt. I basically don't want to put all my eggs in one basket any which way.
