Can I sell a house without paying off mortgage?

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

I am planning to sell my extra house, for which I am paying a mortgage (15 more years to go). The mortgage rate is really low. Can I sell the house without paying off the mortgage (i.e. can I take the mortgage as a low-interest loan), e.g. for a few years (my investment return should be much higher than the mortgage interest rate)? Is this an option that I can negotiate with my lender?
