If the answer is no then you are feeling desperate and not thinking rationally.

For the most part, dealing with people driven by emotions and incapable of rational thinking, I didn't bother with ANY of it.

This is why Market Analysis, with NO emotional rationalizations, is so important, before you buy. 

You’ll want to ensure rents cover PITI by at least a ration of 1 to 1.

I have 5+ buy and hold properties,  i have limited cash right now for another down payment, my debt to income ration hits almost the limit.

@Tim Ryan If I am understanding this correctly....you rationalize your mentor's decision to offer mentorship despite only a 2-3% success rate because it's unclear who will be successful and therefore nobody should be turned away.

The illiquidity of certain market types has not even been rationalized by wall street.

You are only promoting participation trophies and rationalizing poor marketing.

If the current interest rates are low, you are interested in buying more and your debt to income ration won't impede you buying more....I wouldn't pay them off aggressively. 

@Caleb L.I would say it is fine, so long as your job is not just to find a property for an investor by middle man communications between a broker and the investor for a small payment (pretty much what a broker does).
