Inflation and Leverage Question

[Konrad Lightner]

Hi! We are working on a 1031 Exchange and have our eye on several properties that are cash-flowing.

With inflation, market predictions, and everything else we are trying to see if we should maximize/further our investment in real estate by getting as much as we can with our money (but staying under the 200% rule), or if it would be better to put more money down so that we have less that we need to finance.

We are leaning towards putting in smaller down payments and getting more properties, but want to make sure we aren’t missing/overlooking anything!
