A No-Fee Mortgage

[Rockport24]

What tax advantage? The deduction for the interest? That would seem tiny compared to the interest you would actually pay over the life of the loan.

The only way it would be better to NOT just pay with cash is if you think the property value will go up and when you sell, you will recover the cost of your interest and still make a profit...
OR if you are fairly confident you could invest the money and get a better return than you would be paying in interest, which is possible given interest rates are still low...

I always laugh when people talk about the tax advantage. Now if they had a guaranteed investment that was making a higher % than the interest, that is a different issue.
