Please help to figure out next move

[Mary Jay]

Hi guys,

I have a question: cant seem to figure out my next move. Or actually how to spend or borrow 40K

1) I am buying now in florida for 200K and it will rent  for 2K, will cash flow 200-300$ per month.

2) Have a rental out of state that is almost paid off, owe on it 6K, worth 80K. I can probably refinance it and get 50K out.

3) In my instate rental probably about 50K equity

4) House I live in has probably about 200K in equity

6) 115K in 401K, can borrow upto 40K

Plans:

1) Was thinking of buying a 4plex out of state that cash flows 1K/month. Have to come up with 50K in downpayment. Where should I get it from? My 401K? Or refi my out of state rental? Or get hard money and then refinance?

2) Was thinking of buying a house close to me, 4bdr/2bath and selling mine and move into the other one. The house below market value about 50K now. It wont cash flow. But if I sell mine and take that 200K in equity and but the other house, I will owe on it about 100K

3) Refi my house and pay off my instate rental completely and move there and be mortgage free? My goal is to get put of rat race ASAP, so may be this is the right choice? My Rental is only 3 bdr, so if my family moves in there it will be a bit tight...But I will have no mortgage on it

4) Buy cheap houses in the middle of nowhere that cash flow 300-400 per month...

Anyway, I am lost and cant figure out what to do.

What I know for sure is I am not sure how long can I handle my job, I cant stand it. So, probably  it makes more sense selling my house and using equity to pay off my instate rental and move into it?

Anyway, what do you guys think?
