Now I'm deploying these funds into my real estate business to grow faster than ever would have been possible.

Cash drag being the time between when a loan pays off and when the money is deployed into a new loan.I also like syndications.

There are companies out there offering low interest rates for 30 year fixed mortgages so you would not need to deploy all of your capital into one rental property and then play the waiting game for when interest rates drop. 

It is better to deploy those funds in other locations.

My spouse had survived back to back deployments post 911 and beyond.

If you are getting started, proximity will help you and you can gain a quick competitive advantage by learning your new market with a bunch of cash to deploy into it.

You can also run the numbers with a mobile app called Clarem FI (www.getclarem.com) that can help you build the most optimal plan to deploy your cash.  

Someone please prove me wrong.I also heard they have waved the requirement for military deployments but that is only hearsay.

I personally don't worry about reserves and keep my cash in hand while deploying HELOC's for projects.

Large anchor employers is another key ingredient to look for when you are looking to deploy your investment capital.
