Should you pay off your rental properties or use that cash to buy MORE? This is THE question I get from clients constantly—especially Dave Ramsey followers who are terrified of debt.

In this episode, I'm breaking down:

  • My personal Real Estate Snowball strategy (how I'm paying off 10+ properties in 7-8 years)
  • The "lazy equity" trap that's costing investors millions
  • Real math: How 1 paid-off property can become 4 properties worth $1M in 10 years
  • When to be in the "buy, buy, buy" phase vs the "pay off" phase
  • Why your tenants are literally buying you free houses

Whether you have 1 rental or 50, this episode will change how you think about rental property debt.
