Imagine how many seeds you can plant if you put a 30 year mortgage on those properties, leaving 30% equity in each, taking that cash, and putting down 20-25% on a handful of other properties (or small multi-families) and what those “seeds” would grow to be in a few short years...Leaving homes paid off, in my opinion, are for those who don’t have much life left to live...

Upgrade light fixtures, get a nice mirror and distract the eye with some bold staging items (towels, rug, maybe a faux plant). 

They are investing in a business that happens to have a physical plant (the property being rented).
