Deja vu from 2005-2007..........Yes, you need to leverage your equity to keep moving forward....wont argue that....but to pull out ALL your equity to go buy more properties in a very high market, sounds like a huge gamble to me..... use the leverage....hell yes.....but using ALL of your equity is a huge ALL IN bet..... you better be able to back it up if there is a big correction......Guess I'm just a wimp.....hope you are right.......
