 When it comes to personal life, stay out of debt, when it comes to investments, use leverage. It is an investment in your business. You aren't buying boats or computers or patents or anything else. You are buying an asset that has value and will maintain and go up on value. I am the same way. Out of debt on personal but leverage in real estate. Hope that helps!
