Need some advice

This is my first post. I love the community in here. I need some help deciding. I really want to get more into investing in real estate. 5 years goal is to have 20k/month in passive cash flow. 

I bought a condo back in 2014 in Ann Arbor, MI for about 67k (cash). Rented for $1110/month for two years. The lease is about to end. HOA is about $320/month. The tenants want to renew for another year.

This was my first buy and I don't think it was an awesome buy but it cash flowed about 400-500/month. If I were to go back and know what I know now, I won't have bought this condo. 

I am thinking of selling the condo, adding more money to make it 100k, leverage to buy multifamily between 500-700k that cash flows better. Is this reasonable/possible? 

Or 

Sell the condo and use the money +  hard money to do rehabs until i have about 500k then invest in cash flowing multifamily real estate. 

a little about me: I am a doc. I have a full time job. I love learning new things and business. I want to be free in 3-5 years. I have about 350k in student loans and no other significant debt. Credit score 700-720. 

I would greatly appreciate it If you have any other tips or suggestions to get starting. Thanks in advance.

From what I've heard, you'll have to take it out of the LLC to do that. I don't have personal experience with this, however. How much is it worth now? I wouldn't think a line of credit would have costs that high, unless the rules are different for an investment property.
