You're not transferring titles or anything that would trigger a complete reassessment to step up your basis. 

Study, learn to the point you can articulate REI to someone else, then pull the trigger. 

When you feel you are confident enough to pull the trigger, you will pull it before you know it. 

Just a matter of whether we pull the trigger or not.

Find a mortgage broker before pulling the trigger and describe the situation and see if financing is possible.

@Jack Inman That’s the plan, I don’t plan on pulling the trigger on another property for at least another year to so I need save up the capital and during that time I’d like to attempt to build a team to work with

I’m watching the market trying to determine when the equity growth has slowed enough to pull the trigger.

I know I may sound harsh my friend but you really need to think about this stuff.

Hard to say, but from my short experience I can tell you that inside the city of Hartford the returns are good but it's very harsh.

Bounded on the west by ocean, south by Mexico, North by Pendleton, and East quickly gets harsh.
