So i got approved by a bank for two duplexes that i was interested in, i got one under contract and the other one didn’t go through “ another investor offered more” now i’m conflicted if i should go with this one property that i have under contract, use the down payment i had for the 2 property plus, save 2-3 months ( june to August) to buy cash or buy and rehab a distress property.

Note: The area i’m investing is in Cleveland Ohio, also this would be my 2-3 investment if everything goes well. I have done over 7 months of research....reading, podcasts etc

What would you do as an investor?

Thank you inadvance

Name of the game for me is leverage. You need to explore the benefits of leverage and how the return percentages on your money (IRR) are affected.
