So, I plan to be in the market for a new house in a new city in a year or so.
Basically, I'm wondering what the consensus is here on how much to put down on a new house - or for that matter a rental.
I quite possibly, have way too much cash in the thinking that I would possibly like to just buy this next house 100% cash. However, I doubt I'm quite at 100% yet. Anyhow, is the consensus here that that is just dumb and it should be in the market in one way or another? I'm not going to agree with that view but I am curious about the mustache outlook on this.
Also, lets say that I owned 100% of my house and wanted to be a landlord. Would it be wise to put 100% down on the rental if I had the cash - or again, is that silly in these parts? To make it more interesting, lets say, I just bought a house and wanted to save for a rental. Should I save it in cash, put it in the market, put it in CDs? If I knew I wanted to do this in order to increase my non-retirement passive income, would it be worth-while to slow down investing in retirement accounts in order to build a larger cash stash for the rental unit more quickly?
