Get a 50% LTV loan and buy another property just like the one you own. 

With the caveat that I'm much more familiar with traditional private equity funds than real estate investment funds, I would caution that the returns waterfall is extremely favorable for the GP.

@Vinny MuliIf you have equity built up, can you do a cash out refi?

This money gets added onto the back of the loan kind of like a VA funding fee does. 

Hello @Timothy Hilario,I think there are benefits to both strategies.If you move out of your apartment and rent it as a mid-term rental, you could see decent cashflow without pulling equity out of the unit.

If you have equity, you can use HELOC or cash-out refinance.

I'm feeling most drawn to a buy and hold rental investing strategy and like the idea of the BRRRR strategy in tandem with VA loans, basically refinancing VA loan backed mortgages to conventional loans once there is 20% equity in the home.

Structuring a joint venture (JV) or equity partnership can make the deal appealing by offering a share of cash flow and appreciation. 

Either way, you have options which is great to have at 22 years old with equity in hand!

Hey @Brandon LaRose, do you have the ability to use a Margin Loan against a taxable portfolio, or a policy loan against a permanent life policy?
