Downsizing primary residence to use extra cash

[Cary Beadle]

I just bought my first SFR and am currently looking for my second. As I am always trying to think of how to fund the next deal, I considered selling my primary residence and downsizing to use the extra cash as down payments for multiple rental properties. Does anyone have experience with this? I know that using a HELOC or refinancing are options, but not using leverage for the down payments would be preferable.
