Hello,I have several ways to fund a down payment on my first investment property and would like to know the "safest" way to do so...Cash, borrow against my 401K (and does this method constitue the start of my investments) or HELOC. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence wholesale investment in Columbus.

I’m debating if this is worth it in the long run because If I do then I get them paid off earlier but at the same time I could be using that extra money to expand my portfolio and buy more houses .

These things are the ones to really take a look at and see what makes sense on where you are putting your money and how much you put into it.

I feel like i would be kinda hard for everyone to make money that way. 

At the moment is not that I need this money to continue investing.

Generally, SBA loans can only be used directly for real estate purchases if the loan is being used to purchase a facility for a non-real estate investment business that will owner-occupy at least 51% of the property.

I am looking to begin my family’s real estate investing journey in the next 1-2 years as we save up for the purchase.
