Paying off rentals

[James York]

Who is an advocate for paying off their rentals and just enjoying the cash flow? I’m fully aware of the down sides of this, but thinking it could be a better fit for what I want out of life.  I’ve also recently spoken with a very successful commercial investor who doesn’t carry any debt because of his experiences during the great financial crisis. Looking for feedback from people who have done it or are working toward it. I know this slows growth, eliminated leverage and all that, this is an alternative idea that is equally valuable to the investor looking for a more passive income.
