Is this Best my best Option? Sell my house to invest?

[Jacob Flores]

I had a real estate agent come and look at my house. I owe $140,000 on the house and real estate agent said well can sell our house for $260,000. I have only been in the house 5 years and property keeps increasing in value. My plan is to sell my current house and rent a apartment so I can purchase some rental properties. I don't currently have any rental properties and don't have much in savings to put down 20 percent for home loan. Just wanted to see if this sounds like a good option for my family.
