Pay off mortgage and snowball?

[Ryan Crowley]

Hey everyone, I accomplished my goal of getting my first rental property under contract by the end of 2017 and I close on this property soon. I have been calculating the best way to grow my portfolio, but I am curious if anyone else has worked to pay off the mortgage completely and then saved all the additional cashflow for their next property?? Then repeat for a snowball effect. Obviously would be a slower process, but would create very little debt hanging over your head. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
