How to purchase my first (or several) rentals

Hey, Biggerpockets people! I haven't been on bigger pockets for long, but I'm really excited about what real estate can do!

Here's my question - I have a private money lender who is willing to provide $40,000 at 8% over 20 years(or shorter). Would it make more sense to purchase one property like a cash deal, purchase multiple properties with the private money as the down payments using the BRRRR method, or purchase a property using all of the private money as a down payment(then probably BRRRR with it)?

It seems that having to pay interest on the down payment is a bad idea, but if the increased cash flow allows for it, maybe it could work? I'm not sure, but you guys probably do!

Thanks for the input!

Of course it really depends, but I think the BRRRR method is the best way to go about acquiring a rental portfolio, especially if you have a private money lender.
