Equity plays can turn into better deals down the line with lower interest rates and a refi, with rent appreciation - where you can raise your rents because they may currently be lower than market, and with market appreciation - where the entire rental market moves upwards in rents.But you want to take a serious look at your challenges there... because there can be many - especially if you are a limited funds investor.Equity plays really only work well when you have enough income where you can cover the unexpected.
