@James Myers I put debt on properties the second I can. Think of all of the potential interest/returns that money can be making for you. Attorney's love debt free assets!! Your looking like a T-Bone steak my friend!
I'd suggest you either put a HELOC on the property or do a cash out refi. I buy all of my properties in cash and send HUD to lender immediately after closing along with the rental leases, title, Deed and insurance docs. Put some debt on that bad boy in a HURRY!!!! Before someone else does.
