Best Way to Leverage Primary Home to Fund Purchase
Hi -
Very new to real estate investment and spending my time learning. Here's my current situation:
- Eyeing retirement in 2+ years
- Own my current home for 20 years
- Refinanced last year @ 2.05% for 10 years - did not take out cash
- Have about $90-100k in equity
Here are the options I'm thinking about and want to understand what might work best:
1 - sell home and use proceeds to buy a single-family rental home
2 - stay in the home, take out HELOC and buy a single-family rental home
3 - sell home and use proceeds to buy short term rental (vacation, Airbnb) to use and rent
Thanks!
Jamy
