Warning - The Risk of Down Payment Size When Investing in Real Estate

Life is full of risks. When we choose to invest, we choose to take on additional risks.

If we invest in stocks, we choose to take on certain risks. When we choose to invest in bonds, we take on different risks. When we choose to invest in real estate, we choose to take on additional and different risks.

One of the risks associated with real estate investing is the risk of down payment size.

If you put a large amount down—or even choose to pay cash and put 100% down—you have certain risks. If you choose to put a small amount down—or even nothing down—you have other risks. These risks change with the amount you put down.

In this mini-class, James will look at the risks associated with the amount you put down when investing in real estate.
