What other methods should I use to acquire another property? 

@Chris Ke With $200K for a down payment and the ability to invest full-time, consider starting with a 4-plex or multiple single-family homes (SFHs) within a 5-hour drive of Los Angeles in areas like San Bernardino or Riverside.

This would need to be structured that if your rent is at or below your mortgage payment, the portion of the mortgage payment going towards principal is more than all other expenses (and hopefully more than budgeted capex). 

It’s a strategy that allows investors to acquire rental properties with little to no money out of pocket while building equity along the way.If you're considering using the BRRRR method to grow your real estate portfolio, here's everything you need to know about how it works, its benefits, and potential risks.What is the BRRRR Strategy?

This method absolutely works.

I use credit cards, write checks, and pay in cash.Each situation can dictate the payment type. 

I do have equity built up in my home, but I don't want to be saddled with yet another payment.

Yes, the BRRRR method can work with multifamily properties, and many investors have done it successfully.

I wanted to let you know that you could use a primary HELOC Mortgage and run a simpler approach to pay off your home early, or make principal payments, or save up and recast your payment.

Its percent of home payment to median income which has been skyrocketing over the past few years.
