These are the same debates that I struggled with last year when I decided to start investing as well.The answers are pretty subjective, and really depend on what you are personally looking to do when it comes to investing. 

I debated a quick flip but that didn't appeal to me because I prefer buy and hold investments.

I am debating on whether I should focus on paying off the houses early or just continue adding property?

@Lindsay Diven the LLC debate is a hot one on BP.

I may get to that but I am debating going back to this one first.

Debating whether to purchase a 2 vs 3 BR beach property for STR in Daytona/New Smyrna/Ormond Beach area.

EricWe are suppose to shy away from Political Debate, so I will make this short and sweet.Taxation is one thing, all governments need money to run the programs that they were Constitutionally required to do.

I've gotten in debates in the past with them and I said all it takes is on eviction to increase that number 10 fold.

That said, I also have friends who believe that 100% cash flow is better than leverage, so I guess that can be debated all day long. 

We are debating whether to hold it as a cash flow property (~$400/month clear) or flip it as a turnkey property to another investor.
