I don't buy things that won't cash flow and I'm selling the one non-compliant one to reduce my overall net leverage and pay off one or two in their entirety.On a personal basis, I'd say the older you get, the less net leverage (cash in bank or t-bills plus money owed) you should probably carry, as you are more resistant to market cycles that way.

To me this seems like the path of least resistance for people just starting out.
