You did not read my entire postings on this aspect or perhaps even the post you seem to quote.

The statement of borrowing as much as I can is an incorrect quote. In fact on the office building I am planning to put down 65% of the purchase price, the vacation rental will be 27% down, and on my home we're consolidating two loans acquired during my developing days and reducing monthly payments by $700.

Yeah, we'll owe some money when we die probably but the estate will be substantial after the real estate is sold.

The cash flow while I am alive also will be substantial....much more than if I liquidated everything into cash and paid the capital gain taxes. ...then what you gonna do with cash? Everything that is risk free pays nada. I'd much rather have real estate than stocks. Stocks can be manipulated and can go to zero.

I made it through the big recession pretty well because I had real estate investments . I think I'd rather do it again if necessary.

Then too with Trump in perhaps real estate will be an even better investment with all the tax breaks he'll surely target to real estate owning investors.
