I feel like my "circle of people" really needs an expansion and improvement and I want someone with more experience in the field I want to be in to really help me gain myself to success!

I think there is a good mix of people there. 

Without going into too many details about the property, I'm interested in connecting with people who deal with off market listings and investors in this geographic area. 

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?

People should stop applying sale of goods theories to it.    

It usually works out if you have a great property because people will say "wow this is an amazing property for a killer deal" and youll end up with a glowing first few reviews if it pans out. then you are off to the races

They require all cash to buy so the people there have money.

I know some people feel like they need to invest in a course to hold themselves accountable or feel like they are doing something.

Avoiding accessive PM fees (personally I recommend most people self-manage)These will eat away at your ROI.

Hi Stephen, I would suggest reading as much as you can and connecting with people in the industry.
