The property I purchased was originally my residence and it now a rental but for all intents and purposes I am brand new to real estate investing.I would love to hear from those who have used either of these strategies or any alternative ideas.

Originally posted by @Bryant Patterson:@Anthony Madia if you're living in the house for at least a year, you can qualify for a 3.5% downpayment loan.

Our original plan was to use that paid off property and refinance it to buy 1 or 2 rental properties, fix them up, refinance pay off the original loan and tenants pay mortage, insurance and it will cash flow and do it again and again.
