Starter Plan with cash from a refi

[Scott Robinson]

We recently refinanced our home and got 30k out with the intent of buying a home (using hard money) to rehab, rent or owner finance (exit strategy would depend on the deal).  Since we don't need 30k for a hard money loan I am thinking about using 2-5k for marketing (bandit signs, mailers, door flyers) and keep the rest handy for a purchase (or two).  I want to be able to move quickly (I missed an opportunity yesterday) but am still tentative.  Am I on the right track?  Any and all thoughts are welcome, thanks!
