We study static properties of attractively interacting Bose-Fermi mixtures of uniform atomic gases at zero temperature. Using Green's function formalism we calculate boson-fermion scattering amplitude and fermion self-energy in the medium to lowest order of the hole line expansion. We study ground state energy and pressure as functions of the scattering length for a few values of the boson-fermion mass ratio $m_b/m_f$ and the number ratio $N_b/N_f$. We find that the attractive contribution to energy is greatly enhanced for small values of the mass ratio. We study the role of the Bose-Fermi pair correlations in the mixture by calculating the pole of the boson-fermion scattering amplitude in the medium. The pole shows a standard quasiparticle dispersion for a Bose-Fermi pair, for $m_b/m_f\geq 1$. For small values of the mass ratio, on the other hand, a Bose-Fermi pair with a finite center-of-mass momentum experiences a strong attraction, implying large medium effects. In addition, we also study the fermion dispersion relation. We find two dispersion branches with the possibility of the avoided crossings. This strongly depends on the number rario $N_b/N_f$.
