Growth can kill a business just as quickly as poor cash flow. 

Easy Street is a good option BUT you need CASH in liquid checking/savings for down payment of 20% and BIG chunk 2-3 times loan amount to buy out of a prepayment penalty.

Can you be financially free, sure, consider if you are buying real estate you will no longer have stable income to get a loan.

Please feel free to utilize me as a resource if you want to run through a deal or discuss any of the national or local wholesalers out there. 

I plan to utilize some cash, margin loan, 401k loan, and a HELOC as a down payment.My first house hack (now an out of state investment) has a Zestimate of $530K, and I have $266K left on the loan.

Selling now could free up your equity, giving you the option to diversify into other investments or markets that align better with your new life on the East Coast.

.- at year 7 if value appreciated a lot, can i do a HELOC on it and use that HELOC to pay off the balloon - probably not due to lien being secondary etc on helocYes on the HELOC, but it would probably be easier just to refi and pay off the seller, and cash out more money too.Hope that helps and good luck!
