I've been listening to bigger pockets for about 3 months now and reading up on real estate but I know I can always learn more and right now I know a little. Anyways I work 6-5 at a low paying construction company supporting my wife and newborn baby girl. I want to buy a house next year by putting my income tax down on it maybe like $10,000. I want to know will it be better for me to buy a house with all cash straight out or should I put money down and pay a mortgage? Houses are real cheap in my area but also jobs don't pay well.
