That's OK, Ramela says. He cares more about keeping his cash flow positive than turning a huge profit right away. "The point of having passive income is to have it rented and not worry about it," he says. His tenants are paying off the mortgages on the homes, which builds equity for Ramela. His credit card balance sits at about $28,000, mostly from renovation materials for the house in Pittsburgh and furnishings for his newer place in National Harbor, all racked up over the last year. He was able to finance some of the furniture with an interest-free credit card, but as the intro period comes to an end and his debt becomes subject to interest, paying those balances off as quickly as possible is Ramela's top priority. He puts $4,500 a month toward this.
