Well that depends on your mortgage payment and what you're doing for a living, if you have enough money to keep paying your mortgage without using the money then continue with your path, but if you need the money to pay off your mortgage then do it but you never want to completely pay off your mortgage because of the taxes will destroy you. My blind suggestion is to WISELY invest the money on either a great idea (and not all of it) or something solid because $100,000 dollars isn't much but can be worked with, also speak to a financial adviser but think for yourself
P.S. I'm a big fan of commercial real estate or 6 family homes for example

Invest in a RothIRA!! Very soon we will no longer have Social Security and you will need all the retirement savings you can get!
Obviously the cost of a mortgage investment depends on the amount of money one is able to invest and the type of a house one want to use the mortage for. It is also important to consider the interest rates before investing in a mortgage.
Firstly you are building up equity (value) as the home price values rise and you begin to pay down the mortgage. Eventually, after the mortgage is paid off, you own the home lock stock and barrel and when you sell the new buyer will have to cash you out 100%, and you can take those funds and invest in another home of higher value.

Investments one should make with settlement cash is truly a personal choice on what may interest you. One could invest in CD's, stocks and bonds if you want.
No where. The taxable amount of the settlement that you have received during the year will be reported on your 1040 income tax return and added to all of your other gross income and taxed at your marginal tax rates.

If you just went through a foreclosure I know of no one that will give you a mortgage for a number of years. I tell people to sell the home before it goes to auction.
