I have 2 rental properties. Benefits of paying off early?
What are the pros and cons?
I have bought them within the last year. I could probably pay off both in 3 years or so and would gross about $3,000 per month in rent at that point.
Are there reason NOT to do this? $3,000 more per month of consistent cash flow would = early retirement.
Are there reasons TO do this?

I paid my rental properties early and think that is the smart way to go. I sleep very well at night being debt free
