300k cash, debt free...next step?
Hey BP community!
I just met with a lender and I qualify for a 350k mortgage (currently dont own anything). I also have 300k cash on hand and own a GC company so can have some work done at cost.
I live in Maine and would like to invest in my state. What should next step be? My annual income is currently 90k from my job.
1) house hack 1 large multi?
2) Brrrr the above multi
3) buy more than 1 property right away?
4) partner on a larger complex (I have a few potential partners lined up)
how would you guys best leverage my situation?
Thanks in advance,

Your first step is to develop a plan for investing. Start with your financial goals, and work your way backwards (reverse engineer) until you are back to where you are now. Then just follow the breadcrumbs. Keep in mind that every step along the way, you must make decisions for entering every investment where the exit from that investment leads to the entrance of the next investment. If you don't, you'll be spending a lot of time starting from scratch with every deal you want to do.
