Discussion: buying investment property cash down or 50% down

[Rhona Didi]

Hi

Just opening a discussion topic for pros and cons of buying investment property fully cash down or 50% down?

What are the benefits of either? I don’t have much experience in investing in properties. I was only a landlord for two years from 2011 to 2013. This was from necessity not choice. We had to move to a better school district so I had to rent out my paid off town house for couple of years.

Overall experience was good.

Today I’m thinking it would’ve been nice if I had bought a second property in a good school district and put on rent.

Thanks.
