Down payment

[Virginia Jones]

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the down payment of my first rental home. I have enough saved in a mutual fund for a down payment. Would you recommend taking this out and investing it in real estate or leaving it there and saving up other money for the down payment ?

@Virginia Jones I absolutely would go for it.  I recently did something similar.  I had a 401K that was growing very slowly.  I decided to cash out, take the small hit for drawing early, and I was able to put it all on a deal that is cash flowing nicely.  

Take your time and analyze the deal.  If the numbers look good, do it!
