Is It Better to Buy Rentals with 25% Down or All Cash After Buying an Owner-Occupant?

Chicago Real Estate Investing & Real Estate Financial Planning™ Podcast

So, are you stressing out over higher mortgage interest rates and properties not cash flowing as well as they used to, or in some markets, not having positive cash flow at all... even with 25% down?

What's a real estate investor seeking financial independence to do?

In this class, we will compare two strategies. In both strategies, you first buy an owner-occupant property with a 5% down payment to live in.

Then, in the first strategy, you save up for a 25% down payment and buy a rental property. You repeat this process, stopping only when you own 9 rental properties.

In the second strategy, you take extra time to save up until you have enough to buy the property for all cash... 100% down payment. While it takes longer to save up to buy a property for all cash, having a free and clear property, or two or three, with great cash flow makes saving up for subsequent rentals easier and faster. You repeat this process, stopping only when you own 9 free and clear rental properties.

We model this in over 300 US cities using each city's property values, rents, taxes, insurance, etc. And, we use today's interest rates.

Which strategy gets you to financial independence the fastest? Which gives you a higher net worth? Which is riskiest? Which should you utilize?
