They the turn their aggregated income all on paying off one property, get it done, and then move all their augmented aggregated income to the next property, get that done, and rapidly snowball all the money to paying everything off.There are all too many others, however, who base their business model on perpetual growth, think their spreadsheets are magic and will always work out month after month, smugly believe they've calculated for every possible manifestation of Murphy's Law that could hurt them, and just keep on acquiring and acquiring (and inflating and inflating their lifestyles) until something breaks their positive cash flow prediction model for a month or six and they go swirling down the toilet to a bankruptcy they never saw coming.When you owe someone money and you've committed to paying them over a schedule, there are always risks.
