Instead of paying down that loan, I'd rather accrue savings to invest in rentals.Remember, debt is simply a tool (think of a chainsaw).

Also if you run other businesses, a different structure might be more helpful.Currently, seeing that the corporate tax rate was lowered significantly, depending on how much profit you want to reinvest in the business, an actual corporation may have some benefits as well.I'll say that generally an S-Corp would be the way to go, but there may be situations that make a corporation tempting.Be sure to work with a CPA that knows your specific situation.

If you focus on profits you are far ahead of the game.
