Is there a better way ???

Is there a better way for me to buy properties than the way I do it now?

I currently purchase rental property with 20% down and take out a 30, 15, or 10yr mortgage. I have done this for my past 17 properties. This has always seemed like the safe way to do it but is it the smart way.

Should I be using more bank money instead of my own by putting less down of my cash?

I'm not talking about realestate that I need to use cash to beat another bidder, just your average transaction.

Thanks
