Then, products such as HELOC or 1031 exchange are not open to me as a foreigner so even though i have on paper $500k in equity I don't have a real way of tapping into it.Any ideas or suggestions what I can do now to keep growing would be much appreciated!

Self storage  did a deal for him were I gap funded it buyer needed to close in 3 days there is 400k in equity I  put up 75k to close the deal and we get 100k back when it sold no matter what its sold for plus cash flow..

“I have 10,000 units and $2B under management” sounds a lot better than “I raised $500M in equity financing and have lost at least 75% of that equity if I were to liquidate my portfolio right now”They have already begun sending threatening legal notices to members who post on these forums, even when those members post factually correct information.That’s why a forum that allows discussion to take place on this subject that is designed to shine a light on GP behavior and performance is so important.  

But retail has trimmed physical footprint to defeat that---> yes, lot of store closing, but gov would say it'sretail/walgreens issue or Amazon issueI think people look at the wrong numbers sometimes, but yes in general jobless claims need to and will rise---->yes, more white collar job is affected but since they are rich in cash and rich in equity, that's not translateinto home price reduction so far.More and more evidence is showing that home price appreciation occured because of migration or transfer of wealthrather than the strength of local economy.

I have about $175k in equity in our rented house (2.79% mortgage rate).

I have successfully rehabbed two homes and provided over 120k in equity from them.

Should be able to cash flow pretty well under these conditions and, as others have mentioned, you'll make most of your money in equity gains via debt pay down and appreciation.

Currently, we own a home in West Seattle and have approximately $200K in equity.

They probably have over 600k in equity in their property.

Will invest 150,000 for an ARV of 900,000 and 250,000 in equity.
