Hello Robert,I enjoyed reading your post. 

I have no social sphere or contacts family or friends in Oregon (I don’t know anyone besides my fiancée).Goals: continue to have flexible schedule while enjoying what I do (selling real estate) and making good money.

I get the feeling you don't enjoy being a landlord, so I agree that you should consider selling and investing in something that doesn't include tenants and toilets.

Until that happens, enjoy major cash flow. 

If I pay it off, I could maximize cash flow earlier, reducing financial stress and allowing me to focus on other ventures or simply enjoy life more.On the other hand, I know some people advocate for keeping cheap debt and using the extra cash to invest elsewhere for potentially higher returns.Why I’m leaning toward paying it off:Security: No debt = peace of mind.Financial freedom earlier: A fully paid-off rental would give me a significant monthly cash flow?

Enjoy the journey!
