When starting BRRR is it best to buy with cash or finance?
I am reading through the BP BRRR strategies book right now. I plan on jumping in head first into real estate investing two months from now. While reading through the book it mentions that buying your first brrr property with cash is ideal. I have always heard that you should invest as little as possible. I dont have a problem buying my first property with cash, I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. What are your experiences?

@Kyle Phelps, what makes BRRRR so powerful is being about to recycle that cash over and over again quickly. If you purchase and rehab a property for $250k, raise the value, and are able to pull all or most of your money out, then you can do it over again.
If you don't have cash on hand, then you will want to get a loan. That is perfectly acceptable but it is not the most efficient way to BRRRR.
