Real estate investing is a team sport and at different points in the game different players will play more important roles.

If I can make a suggestion...Yes with 3 points you might be able to get into the 6's - but let me give a quick example:Let's say loan amount is $250k and making some other assumptions, paying 3 points down would cost $7,500 however that might only save $195/mo.
