use the same leverage on the investment portfolio vs the house and see where that comparison comes out to. It would probably be comparable and if you are borrowing to invest in a balanced portfolio of dividend paying stock/etf and fixed income you can deduct the interest income/dividends against the interest. Set it up with a DRIP too. A well balanced 60/40 portfolio had a downside of probably max 12-15% in a 2008 style downturn.

Although the benefit of a principal home being sold is tax free is a bonus.

There is not a "best option" really. The rich have always accumulated stocks bonds real estate and diversified between all asset classes.
