Personally I don't look at it as an all or nothing choice. i believe in borrowing at conservative levels to moderate my risk but grow faster than I can with all cash. 

Maybe one or two has some moderate success, but only just.Ok...For some really infuriating reason, using a chrome based browser, if something's highlited, instead of ctrl+z, it cuts the last paragraph I typed!

I am sure that it is a good cash flow market and moderately to low priced homes. 

The areas that rent for less than $800 for 2 or 3 bedrooms are definitely inner-city, moderate/high crime areas.

I found this forum and I specialize in representing BULK REO sellers and like the way this forum is moderated.

As for rents, I do see a moderate drop too, but I’m not sure if it’s due strictly to corona, or if it’s been soft due to early year seasonality (although things pick up by April, and get hotter in the summer.) 

Wow, so many answers to the question (yes to debt, no to debt, yes to moderate debt, no to moderate debt, etc.).

I then plan to use savings and any equity in my primary residence through a heloc or otherwise to continue to fund more multifamily (or possibly other endeavors) at a moderate/conservative rate, all while the investment properties pay themselves down where I will either continue to live off of the higher cash flow once they're payed off or sell some or maybe something else.   

I invest in residential real estate as well and know that is what BP is for, but I thought there may be members with expertise to weigh in on this issue as well.I look forward to the discussion and if a moderator feels that this discussion would fit better in another area of the forums, please feel free to move it.
