Savings/ Cash Flow Reinvestment Strategies for down payments

[Michael Wnek]

I'm interested in hearing what Savings strategies you have used to save up for down payments for new properties. 

Same question for where to park positive cash flow? Savings Account? CDs? reinvest in other markets? 

Right now my wife and I have enough set aside in our savings to make our down payment on our first property. I am curious to see if anyone has used other forms of Saving/ Reinvesting while in-between purchases to super charge returns.
