Account Closed is correct, absolutely do both.. especially if youre just starting out even Grant Cardone started with a SFR. but for the sake of his question lets say you have 100k saved up for a real estate endeavor TOTAL, and you find a SFR that fits the 1% ratio (100k house that brings in 1k rent) that is doable if you calculate it out that would equal a 8.2% cash on cash IF it stays at a 90% occupancy rate. on the other hand if you invest that 100k into a limited partnership with a company that invests in value add apartments will now your cash on cash can be a preferred 10% with a target of 16-20% IRR which would essentially double your money in 2-5 years.. in this scenario the SFR would take sweat equity from you and risk while only returning a measly 8% CoC while the MF would be completely passive allowing you to learn and grow without hindrance with a 10% CoCnow we are over simplifying but I hope this made sense.. cuz my brain hurts ;D

Quote from @Adam Eckhoff: Hello Everyone,Hey @Adam Eckhoff, It's definitely doable depending on your target market.

Dear Christopher,I don't think you will have a problem...because your target population should be cash-pay clients, not Medicaid/Medicare recipients.

Debt for a cash flowing investment property in a good neighborhood with a minimum 25% equity stake doesn't make me nervous for the following reasons:  the debt makes the property less of a target for lawsuit scammers,  re-fi loan proceeds are tax free money for me to spend,  with a 20 year loan a decent amount of debt is retired every 5-7, and market appreciation is icing on the cake.

This is why I also think best investment location is where they are going to settle , and also where I am going to retire , both can be executed when we are 30 and it is not that difficult ….It is no longer about cash flow and/or appreciation…If kid wanna settle in Arizona then buy in Arizona etc etc , the target of investment should follow our own future trajectory rather than financial needs alone.

You would be better off having two properties at 50% leverage than one at 0%.3) You lose out on appreciation benefits by having one property unleveraged when you could have four properties at 75% leveraged4) Unleveraged properties are a target for ambulance-chasing lawyers and also now fraud. 

Targeting distressed properties and making creative offers makes total sense. 

We were talking hypothetically if you were targeting markets where investments were under 250k which would be the best markets to look in. 

Now, this is all dependent on your strategy (and money to implement it) but if I target off market properties in a state of disrepair then my down payment could be 0%...or I could target on market properties and use traditional financing and need 20% down.
