Loan or Cash-Which is better dollar for dollar.

Which is better dollar for dollar?

Tax wise, If I purchase a condo for $100,000, would it be better to pay cash for it or better to finance it? 

Income level around $150,000. 

Wife and I with no dependents. 

Only debt we carry is current mortgage.

As @Steven Ko mentioned, if viewed solely from a tax perspective, financing is always going to be better than straight cash.  However there are many other sides to the decision that need to be considered.
