I know you will find lots of other investors here from California as well as all over the US and internationally.You don't have to mention how much is in your "small sum" of cash but wondering what your ultimate goal with real estate investing is and what aspect you're looking to get involved with?

100 % of my deals have been all cash transactions.I would definitely it has to do with what market your in, also the area you are farming makes the world of a difference and last but not least what aspect of real estate are you involved in will definitely have percentages off from cash transactions to financed transactions.Me personally I'm a wholesaler, so the properties that I do come across are usually owned 90% of the time with no existing mortgage.
