Invest in RE or pay off personal mortgage

[Kristie Hurst]

My spouse and I are debating whether to invest in a rental property(s) or pay down mortgage. Maybe do a little of both? I’m all for buying rental property, which my spouse is as well but he’s wondering if the current market lends itself towards paying down our mortgage and waiting for a better market. His business partner is a CPA and recommends tackling the mortgage.  I’d love to hear what seasoned investors would recommend.
