I believe they're almost 8% with that program currently but if it provides an entry point, you should consider it!  

After that's under control, focus on increasing income through additional work at your current job, taking on a side hustle, or finding ways to increase income on your existing rental.At the same time, educate yourself.

A HELOC or cash-out refinance on your current rental could unlock additional funds if interest rates improve.

(May also cut significantly into the current cash flow on it)I know you mentioned not doing a HELOC on my primary, but wouldn't it be advantageous to have the ability to pay off the line of credit instead of be stuck in a payment that is much higher? 

Quote from @Keyshawn Johnson: Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m currently living in Italy but will be moving to Florida soon, specifically to the Destin area.

I currently live in Michigan. 

My name is Wes and I live about an hour north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.Looking to get into real-estate investing with long term rentals, BRRR, and House hacking.Currently looking to also find other other local people to chat to about real-estate and how to get started in our currently price inflated Ontario market.Let me know if you're in my area!!

I’m currently a student and just requested a full refund.

I'm going to exclude my personal residence from this because I don't view this as an investment, I need a place to live.Excluding my primary residence my current breakdown is 47% real estate 53% stocks/cash. 

I am currently living in rental apartment and, I am looking for best strategy for first investment.
