With interest rates going back to more normal levels (because the last 10 years they were super low) and me getting closer to when I plan on retiring, I am working on paying off my mortgages, so I have fewer expenses and more money coming in from the rentals...or if I want, I can sell them in 5 years without interest penalties.

Pay no taxes as its a non-taxable event.2.
