To list a few...Anyone who wants to increase their property’s income potential (and equity) and build new housing in a market that struggles with high prices, low supply, and few new construction.House hackers who live in their primary and want to airbnb an ADU love this strategy or vice versaInvestors who want to do both long term and short term benefit from having two separate units.Rental Restrictions on ADUs.Thankfully, Raleigh is very STR friendly and ADU friendly right now.

I see a lot of potential and I'm looking to purchase my first multifamily duplex in the uptown area.

I am wondering if anyone has ever taken legal action against property managers, and if they think we have a potential case? 

Thank you for putting it out there and potentially saving someone else in the future. 

multifamily and single family both have potential value.

If I pay it off, I could maximize cash flow earlier, reducing financial stress and allowing me to focus on other ventures or simply enjoy life more.On the other hand, I know some people advocate for keeping cheap debt and using the extra cash to invest elsewhere for potentially higher returns.Why I’m leaning toward paying it off:Security: No debt = peace of mind.Financial freedom earlier: A fully paid-off rental would give me a significant monthly cash flow?

Lots of older houses but there seem to be several that have the potential for cash flow and while not exactly modern on the outside, have been renovated inside. 

That's 50k a year gone and you are losing tax write-offs and equity potential.
