What's the best path

[Michael Sobczyk]

Theoretically speaking: If I had the cash to purchase 1 Buy and Hold property at lets say 40-50k in price. Should I take the cash and buy the property free and clear or should I take the cash a use it as a down payment with a portfolio lender and purchase 4 to 5 buy and hold properties. My thinking is to use the cash as a 20% down payment and purchase 5 turnkey properties in that 40-50k price range. Am I way off base with this?
