The wife and I are new to real estate investing.... like new new... Anyway, we own a second home that has equity, but not enough to get a HELOC annnnnd the rent we receive is just enough to pay the mortgage. Should we sell, collect the equity, and invest it into other property? refinance for a lower rate, that way we can make a profit off of the rent? or leave as is and just start our investment venture from scratch using hard money lenders?
