Getting started in Rental Property investments!
Hi! I'm Hannah and am new to BiggerPockets, I am just dipping my toes into the idea of getting into renatl properties. Recently I have found myself in a predicament of either selling my current home and using the profits to invest in rental properties that way or throwing around the idea of renting it out. I got my home in 2020 so my interest-rate on my mortgage is extremely low at 2.9% so I'm not completely sold on the idea of selling. Looking for advice and opinions, always open to new ideas.
Looking forward to connecting!
-Thank you!

Hi Hannah, it may be your best interest to take out a HELOC and use that money to invest. Not sure of how much equity you have in your primary residence, but it would be a good place to start!
