Tied to play it off as just coming on the market and sure to not last long. 

Hi everyone,I am a new investor looking to find my first rental property (a duplex or triplex) in the Bay Area and I am beyond happy to finally be at this point in life where I can do this.While I do have the money to buy a property within my budget in cash, is it wise to tie up all the funds in that manner?

You would not be tying up your money for long I think.

Purchasing cash is great, but often times its better to share the wealth than to take on 100% of the risk and tying up all your assets.Unless you are buying as an owner occupant, you can not use a VA or FHA loan.

Wealthy landlords could find ways to tie up assessments with costly legal knots to delay and fight the taxes levied.Though it appears that economists, politicians, and philosophers throughout history strongly have favored land-based taxation, the landowner lobby in the United States is strong.

Hopefully those much smarter than me can help Rick H. but since probate was never opened, no powers were given to anyone, therefor sole heir or not, she doesn't have any signing authority to sign anything enforceable to "tie up" or get the property in contract.

The umbrella policy covers your liability, not tied to only one property.

By taking out a loan, you can leverage your money stronger.

This allows the client to put offers out without having their money tied up in escrow.

It is costing me $5400.00 in earnest money to tie up the deal.
