@Sharmika M. It depends on your investment strategy. Buy n Hold, FixnFlip? You need to weigh your options. Basically, all you are needing is the funding for the capital needed for the down payment/associated costs and any rehab you want to do if any. Your tenants (if keeping the property as a rental) will be paying for the loan and hopefully your calculations allow you some cash flow at the same time. The BP calculators are a great resource. Do you due diligence on lending programs that offer you the best programs/rates that fit your need. Hope this helps..... 

Hi @Sharmika M.. I agree with Christopher, educate yourself first. Ultimately, you will have more control of your money (investments) in RE than in the market. If you are hesitant to expose all of your funds, start with one property and learn from every step of that transaction. With repetition, you will become more confident. 

If you wait for market to crash you won't have that much equity ;)

I'd cash out now (especially with the recent down tick in rates), but don't be in any hurry to invest it. If something amazing comes on the market by all means jump in, but nothing wrong with sitting on it for a year or two earning 2 percent. I'm doing that myself at the moment as I slowly research some other areas with better cashflow

@Sharmika M..  Well you do not dive in head first.  You would get educated.  Get a team around you.  Find a mentor/coach.  Find a market to invest in. Do research.  Then after you have put all tour ducks in a row, then you will have the conference to do tour first deal.  Other side of that coin is you can become a passive investor and become the bank and loan tour money out and make double digit return on that money.  Your  choice

@Sharmika M.  Hello Sharmika. I would invest. Find what you are comfortable investing in other than the stock market.  Have you ever thought about investing in real estate?
