depends on the quality of the assets and the reliability of consistent rental income.

this is an age old argument and really a personal choice at the end of the day. We understand what the math says..  But there are other factors of a personal nature that will dictate when people want to use leverage or not.

Keep in mind many could not pay cash even if they wanted to so leverage is a must especially those starting out obviously.

As you age out most folks start to pay down debt and want their properties free and clear.
