Use cash and think if you really need it before buying something. 

Investing in sectors you know nothing about - even if you think your “partner” has expertise2.

Im thinking, instead of a 4plex at 100k downpayment, Ill use 50k of Heloc to add to my 100k for a total of $150k to purchase a 6plex around 600 to 650k.
