You will not get a 4.50% rate for a 20 year fixed rate mortgage. You could get around that rate for 15 year fixed.

The payments for a 15 year fixed mortgage will be higher. As long as you qualify, go ahead, it is a good thing to do.

It depends on what you're planning to do after you sell your house in 6 years, and how well you've done to date preparing for your retirement.

To me, personally, without knowing much about you - I'd consider an interest only mortgage if I was going to let it go after 6 years. And put anything extra into a retirement program.
