100-150k in cash how would you invest it ? 1. Buy low priced out of state property all cash (~100k multi family in city like Cleveland ) With remaining money fix up property, rent and hold. Or 2. Buy multiple properties with loan and put down payments on 2 multi family homes, (up to ~400k each 20% down) out of state or possibly local. Buy mainly turnkey, rent and hold.
I know either way should essentially work but would love to hear different perspectives.

Leverage is usually your friend BUT with rates where they are could be a negative leverage situation.

Rates are too high - go with one close by and pay cash.

Leverage is your friend.

Also, more doors diversifies your risk… but it can also diversify your expenses.

Do you have any experience managing remotely? It can be tricky to get the hang of it… you often have to kiss a few frogs before finding your Prince Charming

I’d buy one smaller property leveraged, make all your mistakes with that one, then start snowballing from there.

You won’t nail it your first time. But putting all your eggs in one basket (buying cash), or expanding too quickly will both be even worse…

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck.

I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

I see two crowds these days. One thinks housing market will crash. The other thinks housing market will soar.

The contrarian in me makes me think this is a decent indication that housing market will stagnate (or increase minimally) for a few years.

As a general rules, I feel like the majority cannot foresee a crash/surge coming. The prevalence of such expectations would hamper the pre-conditions necessary for such a dramatic change.
