Paying more to principal

[Natasha Richardson]

Hi guys. So I am still looking for my first multi unit to get started in real estate investing. I am eligible to receive a few grants for down payment assistance but in speaking with a few loan officers so far, that may not be the best option because the interest rates are typically higher when using a grant. The only thing that would offset this is if I pay more towards principal. So my question is, is it wise to put more money towards principal on an investment property given that my goal is to produce cash flow?
