Maximize benefit of being cash rich

[Jonny Lambert]

Hello Everyone:

I am new to BP but am loving the culture that I am encountering.

My question is what strategies would you employ if you had 300k of cash to invest?

Background: I own and operate a successful business with good cash flow, I have roughly 20 hours a week to spend on investing and good to great credit. I live in Buenos Aires and as such can not visit properties or have face-to-faces with seller or loan officers, etc...

My thought until now has been to leverage my cash acquiring conventional financing on four SFRs. However, I keep reading how difficult it can be -- especially for a first-time investor -- to find a DEAL so I do not want to start with a strategy that is dependent on finding several of them a year.

Perhaps is would be easier to secure a great DEAL offering an entire cash purchase?

Looking forward to your responses.
