Interest on home loans is a tax write off so you aren't actually paying that unless you aren't paying taxes in the first place.

I've been considering doing the same thing but only because in Florida I'm forced to have Windstorm insurance by my mortgage company and Windstorm insurance has become so expensive with such high deductibles that it's not really worth having anymore.
