Folks can talk about leveraging and deals and that might be great for some, for me I have a great deal of peace of mind knowing I am not sweating over my mortgages.

I took Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace class 11 years ago.

I was thinking of leverage as ‘all or nothing’ and 30% equity may provide peace of mind while still allowing your properties to grow faster.Re: trusting my ability to find “proper deals” - my answer is NO!

I will definitely listen to those tomorrow as I have some downtime and "peace and quiet";  thanks!

Peace of mind from less debt.Pros for taking out the line of credit: We could capitalize on the SFH's equity (while still keeping it as a cash flowing rental- although the high monthly cash flow would decrease -  and avoid "parking our money" in the home's equity. 

I manage from an hour away so having someone that’s available and able to spot hazards gives me peace in this regard .

@Peace Lily Ok, so the 2nd & 3rd floor are 1 unit but you're renting it out on 2 separate leases?

HelloI purchased a peace of land in Bedford, TX and am going to get in to contract to start a new construction of a Single Family Residential 4/3 .

Peaceful deaths usually dont.

I'm new to the investor world and what brought me here was the overall goal for financial peace.
