Debt-free investing in real estate is unconventional, and traditionally reserved for those who: a) are restricted from using debt, or b) use it as a competitive advantage such as we do.As many BP members know (and will scream from the rooftops) debt is an efficient use of financing to maximize your cash on cash return.

Unit sizes, unit rental prices, current occupancy, competition in the area, condition of the buildings, taxes, etc etc etc..
