Quote from @Lisa Wright:

Instead of chasing after 5 separate houses, why not a quadplex with $100,000.  I would do this in a heartbeat. 

Hmmm, do you see a lot quads around that price?

Quote from @Ash Hegde:

Agree with William in having some caution and doing some evaluation of your free time, connections, and team. If that's all good, this sounds like a good opportunity to BRRRR if you are up for it. That is the only way I would buy with all cash - if I could get it back later. Otherwise, spreading it out to multiple properties will generally work out better for you in the long run.

What level of concern do you have with the prices dropping while doing the rehab and before the refi? This was a good question my wife had and I didn't have a good answer.

Thanks for the advice William. Our goal is long term buy and holds. We are going to be empty nesters in a few years and would like to quit or jobs and move to South America and using the revenue to supplement some of our income. I'm retired military so I have a pension that can provide nicely in cheaper areas of the world.

I'm a newbie and looking for advice. My wife has recently received 100k from her employer. We are considering purchasing our second income property. My wife likes the idea of paying cash for a property in the mid-west and not having a loan. Our agent brought up a good idea that I like but my wife is hesitant about. Instead of spending all 100k on 1 door, buy 5 doors with 20k down on each. Thoughts?

Hi Jamaal,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I will defiantly be using your idea for a cheat sheet. 

Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Muncie.

Purchase price: $130,000
Cash invested: $30,000

This was an out of state turn-key property. I live in San Diego and looking to invest out of state in the future.

I would love to but I live in San Diego and can't afford to invest here.

I'm looking to do my first BRRRR. I need help in deciding what market to get into. I would like to buy for 50-100k and about 50k max for rehab. What sites do you recommend for my research? I think these are the top 5 categories I should be looking into: 1. Population growth 2. Income Growth 3. Property value growth 4. Job growth 5. Crime level.

Thank you for help :)
