If you can't enable your migrate module due to already active configuration

This was my error message:

complinetmigration already exists in active configuration

This was the solution:

drush sqlq 'SELECT * FROM config WHERE name LIKE "%complinet%";'
drush sqlq 'DELETE FROM config WHERE name LIKE "%complinet%";'
drush sqlq 'DELETE FROM config WHERE name LIKE "%to_D8%";'

To stay leveraged or not?

To stay leveraged or not? That is the question that fires up passions in so many BiggerPockets forum discussions!

Most real estate investors start with some debt (although an all-cash plan is possible, too). But eventually you’ll hit a fork in the road when you must decide how to invest excess cash flow:

Should you continue to save cash for more down payments?
Or should you begin paying off your mortgages?
As I explain in the book, a lot depends upon your personal risk preferences and how big you want to grow your portfolio.
