What to do with $70,000 in real estate

[Jake Parsons]

My name is Jake Parsons, I'm 18, and I'm planning to start investing in real estate. I've spent the past several months reading books and listening to podcasts, I plan taking advantage of the BRRRR strategy but I'm not sure if I should use all of my money (around $70,000) or if I should try and get a loan through a hard money lender. I am looking to the BP community of great/seasoned investors for advice on what the best course of action would be.
