First investment property - closing May 1st - looking for strategy to pursue the 2nd?

[George Elchaar]

I'm locked in to settle on my first investment property May 1st. 

It should cash flow around $500/month... using semi conservative assumptions. I'd be happy to share numbers if interested. 

My ultimate goal is to have a portfolio of 10 properties- cash flowing at $500/month  each property. Are there any strategies to leverage the equity in the first property to purchase the   next one?
