Quote from @Billy Smith: Having all or most of your rentals paid off is a great feeling with the cash flow rolling in .You know have a bigger shovel to buy more properties , folks get the fever want more more dam the debt full speed ahead .I read a lot saying what  is the rate of the  note ,you could deploy the money in  ,gold ,stocks etc....With just a couple rentals paid off in A -B area I put my kids though Division 1 state college.
