Paying Off a Big Home Mortgage
My budget allows me to pay my home in four years rather than the remaining 27 years left on the loan. A friend of mine said that I will lose the tax benefits for paying off my house so fast. I can not imagine that any tax benefit is good enough to justify the payment of mortgage interest for 27 years or more. More: My mortgage is 30 years fixed rate of 6% and I have no other debt.

For me this is the best benefit of having mortgage.
The interest you writeoff will put more money over the next 27 years additionally the interest you have that much cash available to invest it might be better option to invest it you it you have that much.

For the deduction for the very real money that would keeping the money that would lose tax.

You’ve answered your own question. There is no tax benefit worth the interest you’re paying. Don’t invest until you’re debt free. Think of it this way, would you borrow money to invest? Of course not. Investing instead of paying off your mortgage is the same thing.
