EP 40: Should Your Rentals have Debt or No Debt?
This question is one that many investors wrestle with. What is the real goal? Many investors are influenced by the likes of Robert Kiyosaki (someone who loves debt and leverage) or even Dave Ramsey (Mr. Anti-debt/leverage).

Some of their responses were unexpected, some shocking, while others were understandable. Listen in and find one that you resonate with. With 20+ interviews in the playlist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov7oIhsrmSY&list=PL_t1CjX04xMsWMvyShmQhssEuKgW-wcgi&pp=gAQB), this episode gives some highlights of the interviews as well as Courtney's main takeaways and views after the plentiful discussions.
