Best way to finance and buy more property?

[Matthew Stone]

Hello,

My name is Matthew I’m a licensed electrician and aspiring real estate investor. I live in the north shore area of Massachusetts where I purchased a two family roughly a year ago. I chose to live in the property and rehab it. After hours of sweat equity I am ready to purchase a second property and start the process again. Any advice on the best way to finance a second property? Should I fund it myself , or refinance and use any equity from my current duplex ?

All advice welcome . Thank you .
