Pay off early or save cash to buy more property?

[Kyle Rowe]

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and the landlord gig. I've been at it since last
June and have had pretty good luck thus far. I'm 24 and have a lot to learn. I bought 5 properties in a 6 month span last year. 3 of which I managed to finance 0% down which many say is unheard of. Keep in mind I live in rural America so rental property around here sells from $15k to $30k all day. Right now I am currently just building a cash surplus and hunting for my next bargain. I am debating on whether I should focus on paying off the houses early or just continue adding property? I set my properties up on 10 year notes at 5% interest. Thanks all!
