Can I get some advice

[Kenneth Mims]

I was hoping someone could help me with this, I am looking to take out the equity in a couple of my rental properties to purchase more.  How or can I bundle the properties together and get one loan?  Also if anyone has done this before can they recommend an loan agent, bank or etc?  And one last question, Should I find the property first or should I have the money ready for when I do find something I like?  Thanks
