Investing to save for first property
Hello all, I know we're here talking about real estate investing, but I'm wondering if while I'm saving for my first property, if I should be investing that money I'm planning on using to buy my first property, or if I should just stick it in an account and wait until I have enough. Same question with after I have my first and am looking to buy my second. Should I invest that money in the short term?
