Current situation I have a primary residence in MA and a SFH home LTR in Akron currently on a 1 year lease.

Would it be wise to use a HELOC on our current residence to use for a down payment on a new property You can make $ investing anywhere.

Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

Quote from @Trent Reeve: i would think they would have more amenities than a non-condo.I think the reference was how do you stand out from one condo to another when they are all identical, vs how do you compete with single family homes.

There are may other ways to do it but the point being, you are not only buying a primary residence for you to live, but it also is an investment because it is bringing in money for you every month.

Sell & Buy a Duplex if your primary residence has significant appreciation, selling could free up a large down payment for a duplex.

My long-term goal is to own 20 units, and I’m trying to figure out the best strategy to keep growing.Current SituationI've been using my primary residence’s HELOC to finance and renovate my rental properties.
