You sell the house and pay off the mortgage.

I agree with Fr Chuck.

Sell the house, then take the money and pay off the mortgage. And the difference, you can pocket that.

But don't forget, you will have to pay taxes on the sale.

If you sell the house for $300,000 and you paid $200,000 when you bought it, you will be paying tax on $100,000. Your tax rate on that $100,000 will depend where you live.
