I'm working on part of an investment strategy and I'm curious about having one more valuable property that, either through a large down payment or BRRR method comes in at 70 LTV, versus using creative financing to have multiple less valuable properties at high LTV.So, assuming all properties would be at just above break even, is it better to have one $600k property at 70% LTV, or four $300k properties at 95% LTV?

It’s refreshing to see someone leveraging both traditional methods and community engagement... it’s a solid mix.

Any recommendations on local networks or specific methods that have worked for you?
