Lian, are you planning to grow this business? if yes you have to be bullish. I am not a big fan of selling if the property is producing and has the potential for more appreciation. look at options of doing a HELOC and using that as the down payment for Hard money to get to the next one. Location and turn around matter buddy.

hope that helps

 In the long run, I want my first investment experience to lead to more. So yes, hopefully grow this business. To property is producing well and we can rent it for more if we wanted. The area I am in is growing and appreciation is expected.

What are the #'s on the condo? 


The current value is around $340-$360k. Last sale earlier this month was $350k. I owe $209,304. Currently rents for $1950 (giving them a discount since we're first time landlords and it's on old high school acquaintance) with a monthly mortgage of $1584 (including HOA dues).


I'd sell it then. You can reinvest the money into another one. You could try pulling a HELOC on it but I think it'd be pretty tight.

Thanks for your input! That was definitely an idea. I was hoping to keep it for my portfolio but if it means leveraging the equity from selling it to purchase another higher rental income property or potential flip, I think your advice is best.

Although, our tenants are expected to renew their lease in July.

when you say your first home turned rental, do you mean you now rent the entire house? part of the house? of you got a HELOC out of it to get another house ( town home), now a rental. all facts needed to provide the best input. also, will need to know the numbers on the property you are looking to work with


 Thanks for your reply, Elvise. The entire home is rented out. I have provided the numbers above.

Hey all,

I currently own two properties, my primary residence and my first home turned rental which is a townhome/condo purchased in 2017. I am also a real estate agent in the greater Seattle area. I'd like to learn if it's possible to leverage my rental property and equity to either do a flip or BRRR but unsure where to start.
