Are you willing to bet that return on the capital you have in this property will outperform other investments (RE in CA, RE out of state, stocks, bonds, bitcoin, sports cards)?

@Sophie Latapie I'm moving in and mining Bitcoin!

If I were in your shoes, I'd stick the cash in a high yield checking or savings account (or Bitcoin*) Then, once you pass the bar and figure out where you'll be for the upcoming chapter use that cash to fund the most investment-efficient purchase you possibly can, like a legal 4-plex in Holladay, a Triplex in Sugarhouse, or the NV equivalent. 

In a perfect world all of us landlords would time machine back to 2009, invest $10K in Bitcoin and smile.

Do you want to own real estate or just throw all your money in Tesla, Bitcoin, s&p500 tracker or whatever and live at home where it’s probably pretty comfortable?

But I am always mindful of the stock trader and the gambler, every time they win they boast about it without realizing all of the costs (losses).

Or if you got real cojones, you could buy Bitcoin, which has returned an average of 200% over the last 12 years.

Where the new trader joes is going in, things like that. 

Just wanted to reach out to the community and see if anyone had sourced some or all of their down payment funds from cryptocurrency (bitcoin, ether, ltc).

Here is the situation:I am 20 years old, I invested in bitcoin at $7000 a couple of years ago, I'm planning to cash out soon in order to pay off my student loans (64k total between both me and my fiance).
