Best Down Payment Option

[Anne Christensen]

Hello,

I have several ways to fund a down payment on my first investment property and would like to know the "safest" way to do so...

Cash, borrow against my 401K (and does this method constitue the start of my investments) or HELOC. My cash is in a high yeild savings account only making about 4.5%. I'm assuming this may be the best option. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
