paying for rental investment all cash?

[Sarah Jane]

Hello biggerpockets :), heard back from two of my brokers and pretty much the only options I have to get into a rental is going the private route. So I just started thinking and thought about freeing up some cash which I would have about 190-220k to play with. what’s everyone’s opinion on paying all cash not with private and then refinancing?. This way I would avoid all fees going through the private financing and broker fees to get started

* would be also aiming always for an VTB with the owner for me to have emergency funds in case of any unexpected issues
