Theoretically speaking.....max down or minimum down...?

[Bruce Woodruff]

So let's say that you had $500,000 cash to use as a down-payment.....

You want to purchase a $1 mil  multi-family building.... Would you use the $500k to get a 50% down and lower payment? Or split it in half and use $250k to buy 2 similar Apartments, being in at 25% each. The math is one thing, but the strategy is another....

Which one would you choose and why?
