My friend owns about 20 single family homes. He has a rule that for every 5 homes he owns, he pays one off completely. So out of the 20, 4 are mortgage free. May not be the best use of leverage, but he feels it provides security for his business. Thoughts?

My wife and I paid off $100k of debt, built a 5 figure emergency fund, bought 2 rental properties, & got our net worth to $160k… All without ever seeing 6 figures/yr. It’s not about how much is coming IN, but instead HOW it’s being used.

Here's why you have an emergency fund 👇 In the last 2 months we've been hit with: Car repairs Medical & hospital bills Unexpected vet bills + medicine Took our emergency fund down from $20k to $3k 🤯 Now we stop investing and replenish the safety net. HAVE AN EMERGENCY FUND

@RealLifeRentals Punishment has to fit the crime. Since they can't pay for a new door, make them participate in fixing it. Go with you to the store to get a new one, help you install it, or just sit there quietly the entire time you install it if they can't help. Accidents happen.
