    Or "You may end up losing money", most people understand that I think?

    You may end up losing money if you sell straight away, otherwise you have a home and no rent to pay and landlords to deal with.
    Or you may may find your property has gone up in value and you may not have been able to afford it had you waited ( change in mortgage environment, prices rises more than wages etc..).

    Seriously unlikely in this economic environment IMO, and you are just renting the money (at risk of interest rate rises) for the next couple of decades, so nothing to write home about really?
