Get your primary thing figured out.Consider house hacking if your life / family constraints allow. 

I plan on continuing to save for more rentals, but I figure if I can use the equity in my primary to speed things up a bit, that might not be such a bad thing.  

In this case, multiple tenants have rented these units for 5/6 years-I figured keeping long term tenants is a priority, but what I am hearing is initial turnover is not necessarily a bad thing.

But that’s why I’m here and studying, to figure out what I can do to get the ball rolling.

Figure 10%.

Just trying to figure this out.

(I know I can ask an electrician/HVAC professional but I figured I could get some friendly advice here first).  

From the people Ive talked to and stuff I've read, it seems like option 2 is the better route, but I just can't figure out how.

It might be a good exercise to figure out how to pull out some equity vs selling it to re-invest in a different property that could be more passive income without all of the hassles.

I decided to take action and D4Ds, came across a FSBO close to me and contacted the seller, I'm now in the midst of preparing my offer and was trying to figure out the ARV but there aren't any comps in the area.
