But I made 50k in equity, Day 1.

We're considering our options for moving forward.Numbers:Purchased for ~ $230,000 (2.5% interest)Remaining balance ~ $220,000Appreciated to ~ $400,000Cash flow is ~ $500 a month after setting aside for all reservesOptions we're considering:1- Cash out refinance- at current market rates, rough estimate is that we could access close to $100,000 in equity, but our cash flow would go to $0 or possibly negative for a period.2- Sell now - if we sell before the end of the summer, we could still qualify for living in the property for 2 out of the last 5 years for the additional tax benefits.

I do have about $400K in equity. 

You should have 100K or more in equity to protect before it makes sense to spend that money - compare that with how much you spend in annual insurance for the same property/equity.3.

I have 500k in equity in my primary home and probably a million in equity on my investment properties.

Some have more than $1 million in equity while others have less.4.

Pretty much the same things that regular investors do but generally with 1) a greater focus on cash flow/cash on cash return than built-in equity or appreciation potential and 2) they tend to be more interested in security and it being low risk than active investors.

Hi folks,Real quick, I have an investment property that currently sits on 2.99% on a 30-year fixed and I have about $155,000 in equity that I would love to start investing in; mainly BRRRR's.

And the debt market is really tough right now so likely you'll be around 50% LTC, so you'll need around $5M in equity.

So we leveraged the $200,000 in equity to buy the new primary and transitioned the primary into a cash-flowing rental.
