Tab, I think you should also ask the question why we choose that option. You could get a myriad of different responses, but it is the context of the investor's position and strategy that will give you some insight into the choice.
For me $100k and one of the sub-markets that I follow, may just get me a 1 bedder with some extra spare to cash to update/reno. But with the market the way it is, I would leave it in an offset account and wait until the recent madness in price escalation has calmed down somewhat. I also believe that part of the market is very keenly contested and would struggle to find value.
The second option for me, would be to use some of that cash to update/renovate existing property in your portfolio.
