One BIG property or two smaller properties

[Marcelle Abel]

Running into a wall here and would love your thoughts and insights as I try to scale as a new investor. We have a chunk of cash to work with which I had originally planned to buy three STR properties with (traditional mortgage, 20% down) BUT I found a larger property with a larger price tag that looks to cash flow very well if done right. So my question is...do I spend 2/3 of my cash on this one property or stick to my original plan and look for three properties with a more moderate cash flow? Thanks everyone!

One bigger property can make more with less effort than 2 properties.

 Just curious, is there a healthy demand for the bigger properties?

 I have a 6 bedroom, 4400 sq ft mountain cabin that can sleep up to 23 people.

Wow I can't believe how full it stays. One group checks out another arrives in the afternoon.
