Hello from Willamette valley Oregon
Hello everyone! I'm Jon, I bought my first SFH that I am currently living in since 2010. Since then my property has appreciated quite nicely in our booming market. My wife and I are looking make REI's in our local are. Our goal is to invest in multi-family housing and obtain financial freedom. We are here to learn!

Hi Jon Kampen
I am in a similar situation of living in my home that has since appreciated an insane amount. What's your strategy going to be? Are you going to sell and move and use some money from the sale to invest? Cash out refi? home equity line of credit (HELOC), or maybe you already have cash to invest with? I've been trying to figure out the best route and am curious if you guys have thought about what you will do?
