What do I do next
Hey, I recently bought my first rental property in Polk County it doesn't cash flow enough for me to have a property manager so I would have to manage this myself for the time being, however in about 6 months I would want to get a HELOC on the property and use that as a down payment on maybe a multi family and then rinse and repeat, I was wondering if this sounds reasonable or would I have to do something else thank you so much

How much equity do you currently have in the property, and do you expect it to appreciate enough in the next six months to qualify for a HELOC? Also, be cautious when using a HELOC as a down payment on your next property. It's important to ensure that you can cover the HELOC payments from the income generated by the new property. Are you planning to purchase a value-add property, or are you looking for something turnkey? I would suggest considering an investment that could help you pay off the HELOC quickly, given the high interest rates typically associated with them. Just a few things to think about.
