Pay off your primary residence?

[Sam Arnold]

Hello,

I’m 24 and I am trying to figure out how to best invest for the future. I’m about to buy my first home.

I wanted to know though, do most people pay off their primary residence before investing in rentals?

Im thinking of Robert Kiyosaki who says if a house isn’t cash flowing it’s a liability. Also, I have read Dave Ramsey whose a proponent of paying off your house.

On the flip side I could probably use the money needed to pay off a home and invest it at a higher IRR than my mortgage and pocket the difference.

What do most folks here on BP do? Still trying to read and learn about all this.
