Same Deal.This is an MH forum so it discusses things important to MH, not other segments of Real Estate Investing, so this is a natural place to ask those concerned about their MH investments to get involved.

I know a lot of people will read the headline of this blog and move right along to something else.Because, in reality, there’s definitely a segment of investors - particularly new investors - who aren’t in the position to actually pay cash for an investment property… at least an investment property that’s habitable and in a respectable area.But, for those of you in the position where you could pay all cash for an investment home, I’m sure you’ve debated the idea of paying cash, or using a mortgage - leverage - to help pay for the property.This is a long-standing debate in the investment world and one that really doesn’t have a magic bullet answer.At the end of the day, the answer all comes down to your personal needs and wants and what makes the best sense for you as an investor.So, I thought I would spend some time discussing Pros/Cons of both and also talk about how we’ve used both over the years during our investment ventures.Pros of Paying Cash for a Rental Home Initial Cost Savings - Mortgages aren’t free.

Bandit signs and marketing to NODs are both proven methods, but are also the most competitive segment you could enter.

Whirlpool and Kitchenaid are made by the same manufacturer, with the former marketed to the lower market segment and the later targeted to the higher end.

It is even worse among certain segments of the population.
