What to do with current property?

[Tyler Darby]

I currently have a property I am living in. Mortgage is $1205 a month. I am renting out two of the three bedrooms for $500 per month so it is almost paying my mortgage. I bought it for $168K and did a complete re-model of both bathrooms, flooring, walls, ceiling, kitchen and garage. I have only been in the house for a year though so I’m not sure I could get another loan for a second property. My end goal is to buy a rent a few more single families bought I currently don’t have the capital to buy anything cash. I am curious as to see what some of you out there would do for your next move if you could put yourself in my shoes? Save more money? Try a hard money lender? Pay down the house more while I am hacking it out? Lead me in to a direction here! Thanks!
