If you’re like most investors, you’ve probably asked yourself, “Should I pay off my rental property early?” With today’s high mortgage rates, troublesome inflation, low inventory, and risky economy, many investors don’t know whether it’s the right move to pay off their mortgage, reinvest in their properties, or go out and buy more. Paying down your debt gives you a guaranteed return, but with home prices still climbing, you could miss out on the sizable appreciation of getting another rental.

On today’s show, we’re going to debate which is the best move to make. Should you pay off debt, buy more investment properties, reinvest in your portfolio, or put more money down when you buy? Each investor has a different method for their next move, but thankfully, our expert panel gives their thought processes for figuring out which decision is best for your portfolio. Henry even shares his “three buckets” framework that EVERY investor should think through BEFORE investing or paying off a property.

We’ll also discuss the crucial calculations you can use to help you decide and avoid analysis paralysis if you’re stuck between choices. Plus, how a high-risk house flipper like James protects himself from downsides even during tough markets like today. Don’t pause on making moves that could help you reach financial freedom; stick around, and we’ll show you exactly how to know which moves to make in 2024’s housing market!
