Those rentals debt serviced and also covered my California monthly rent (I know some of you may question paying someone else's mortgage) but at that time, I preferred the renting lifestyle which placed me much closer to work, my family, my clients, and friends.

Personally I’d prefer having all my loans with one entity like my local credit union who doesn’t sell them and just have the payments come out of my account that I already have with them, keeping it as simple as possible.
