None of your replies mentioned a home equity line as a financing option. If you have enough equity in your house, that should definitely yield the lowest interest rate (which is also tax deductible). Note that the lending institution makes no review of any purchases from an equity line. If your mortgage balance is low enough you may even be able to use the equity line to pay it off as well! Competition among lenders used to be fierce, leading to some tremendous equity line incentives. Mine is prime plus zero, opened with no closing costs. That was several years ago so I do not know if the market is still as lucrative. Home equity is one of the "laziest" investments most Americans make.
