(Unless you become desperate for cash as a result of your wife not working.)I like leverage for a couple reasons.

I already have a P.O. box for my business which I’ll leverage here. 

@Chris Pohlson get educated on commercial/mfam and financing associated with the asset class. there's more scale and the financing (debt and equity) can become easier. 

Still finding success in my latter endeavors but am looking to leverage my knowledge & experience in the construction industry and get into real estate as this has always been my end goal. 

Hi, many folks reinvest back into their business to leverage their money or other people's time. 

It is higher leverage, but honestly I think you should analyze every deal to see if it would cashflow with 100% financing; if not, then it's probably not a good deal. 

I'm excited to finally have my first question after a few months of poking around BP and trying to educate myself! 

I'll take this event as an investment in my real estate education.

Don't be afraid to call some local lenders and get some education! 

If temptation is a problem, then locking it into the asset and accessing with HELOC might be better.I personally like having cash ready for deals, and I also used leverage heavily to expand.
