Buy in cash or keep my money invested and finance?

[Josh Scurlock]

Hello, I have about 250k in the S&P500 and i’m looking into buying my first rental to renovate myself with a business partner near Tampa Florida. He has around 600k and is in the same boat. Is it worth it to take my money out of the market and lose out on the compounded 8-10% annual return or should I keep my money where it is and finance with 20% down? I’m 22 and can leave the money in the market to compound for years and have no need to touch it if that makes a difference. Any recommendation’s?

Could put 40 - 50% down to improve cash flow, keep the rest in the Market
