Trust me I want to. Lol

thanks Jacob, those where similar numbers I have come up with. Right now I'm tipping off my personal emergency fund, then I'm in. I just need to be patient. Thanks for the advice.

so Brent, I think I am asking for advice from someone with experience good or bad on this issue. I am not looking for you to make snide comments and offer no solutions thank you.

Todd thank you for your insight! I must be doing something right because I have thought about those consequences up to this point.

Jacob, I am looking to buy and hold. Properties I'm looking at are in the $30-$40,000 dollar range. I am all about the cash too but tend to get impatient.

so my point is that I have other options of financing "a" investment property but none of them, to my knowledge are good ideas. Surely being an investment guru yourself you know these less than desirable alternatives. I have cash now just not enough, I could probably get into a property deal but I don't think I'm ready.

I recently inquired about a Cash Out VA refinance and thankfully didn't have enough equity in my home get the money I want. I am saving cash for my first deal but tend to get a little impatient lol. Could someone coach me on why I should or should not stay the course and save cash.

Hi! My name is Robby and I am perched precariously on the edge of making a bad decision financially. I have been studying real estate investing for the past two years and I am actively saving for my first property. On a whim I researched a V.A. Cash out refinance to get going but thankfully didn't have enough equity built up. Could use some advice on why I should not do one of these types of deals to get going sooner. Thanks!
