Brrrr Investing Starting with Cash

[Marlon Johnson]

When hearing discussions around BRRRR Investing, I never seem to hear many details on what options are available for purchasing the first unit. Would it make sense to pay cash for the first unit, then refi after acquiring a tenant? It seems like a traditional lender would be more inclined to do a cash out refi on a unit owned outright with a paying tenant. Thoughts?
