Hello Lateeka, I am starting out as well and havent bought any property yet.

I bought my first property as a primary residence upon arrival in 2016 and I have gotten to experience the great appreciation potential that a hot SoCal market can provide.

Ex. 4plex bought near strip in Apr'16 for $170k, comp now $320 to 340k.

Like I mentioned, I’m blessed to live in Northern California and bought my home at the low point in the market.

I'm considering doing this for a few single family rentals I own but also what is once again my primary residence (was when I bought it, then rented it out for a few years, then moved back in).

He bought house two year ago as Brand New construction, value of house has gone up 40/50K (CMA done by my realtor).

I bought a home at auction, everything is online.

Well, if you bought a car the day after closing it would appear you Applied for the loan at least before closing of the loan which would violate documents you sign at closing, with the lender, saying you are not applying for additional debt. 

You may be able to refinance one of the properties to pull out cash.After some of the repairs are completed you may be able to borrow against the property that you just bought.

I think there's a gold mine there if you can create package partnerships with folks, otherwise you're almost stuck running a separate business.
