This area (Salt Lake County/Utah County) is pretty hot right now, and speculation persists as to the timing of the next market correction.  

They are very persistent and tell me how much they love the house and it would be the perfect place to raise their family.

Congrats, glad your persistence paid off, good luck!

Persistence does pay off at the end!

If they persist, you can always tell them that this isn't a good fit and give them the option of leaving. 

Congratulations to you for being persistent, and finally pulling the trigger!

It's very safe that way if it's not a business per se.The reason why you get the feeling from most that it is generally viewed as negative to have a property paid off is due to the fact that the view point of most investors is likely a persistent growth mentality and having an asset that you could refinance and take cash out of does not help you grow if that cash is stuck in the form of "equity", it must be converted through a refinance to generate liquid cash for additional deals - to grow and increase cash flow and profitability of the business.Hope this helps, let me know if you have further questionsJeff
