Hi Guys,Note that i am based overseas (Fiji), so the numbers ($FJD) are for my area. My question requires greater emphasis on the process rather than the figures.I have a completely paid off personal family residence ...

Main home has approximately $120k in equity, 2nd home has approximately $200k in equity.

I have about $200,000 in equity.

Now have $100k+ in equity and have opened a HELOC to use for investment properties.

Leaving $110k in equity. 

I have a duplex with about 60k in equity and both sides rented.

I am hoping you all could chime in on this one:My personal residence (and our first home) was purchase a few years ago at a great price and now has $100k in equity and total value of $240k.

A building like this you would need about $525,000 in equity.
