I have 100k in equity in a long term rental (was a previous primary residence).

I'd highly recommend local meetups and talking to real estate agents.There are companies that offer help with the execution of rentals and BRRRRs, but this typically comes with a large chunk of upfront fees or cut in equity.

This property grosses about 250k/year and has $1.8mil-ish in equity...

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

And now she wants to drop the entire thing for the next year or two or more.I've wanted to own a rental since I was a teenage, our home has had all the major repairs and upgrades, it's move-in ready at this point.The ideal situation for me is to buy a second home in the next few months, @ ~7%, get into our home before summer, interest rates drop over the next year or 2, house appreciates, we make out like bandits in equity and then if it makes sense we refinance to a lower interest rate.

Forced Apperception (BRRRR or buying at a discount) allows you to build in equity from the beginning of the investment.You will likely want to purchase through a hard money lender.

I currently own several properties with approximately $200k in equity.

We purchased our home during covid and we have a chunk in equity, which we do not want to tap into. 

Renting your current home can help make up for some and your job will have to make up for the rest.But if you get 5% appreciation, you’ll gain 50k/yr in equity plus about 15k in loan pay down.
