1st MF Purchase Financing Strategy Question

Hi Everyone,

I'm selling a investment condo in Oakland and looking to purchase out-of-state. I'll 1031 the property (owned F&C) but looking to see what others have done in terms of financing and how much to purchase. My overall goals are to cash flow as much as possible in the short term (2ish years) for personal reasons, keep the property and expand the portfolio greatly in the longterm.

My first thought was to buy 1 commercial property all cash with maybe a small loan/HELOC to cover the difference between the cost and 1031 min. and get my commercial feet wet. Now I'm thinking maybe I should purchase with 60-70% cash and purchase a bigger property or potentially 2 properties. I have a primary with mortgage and a getting a HELOC on the primary as we speak.

Again, I'd love to hear the communities thoughts and what others have done. If you have questions, by all means ask away. 

Thanks,

Chris
