At a glance I would tell you to do things in this order before purchasing more properties:1) Build enough cash reserves to cover large emergency expenses on your current properties say $5k-$20k depending on age of the property, value of the property, and your risk tolerance.2) Build a personal emergency fund that will cover you for 3 to 6 months (depending on your risk tolerance again) if you suffer a financial set back (i.e. loss of job, medical problem, etc.)3) Pay off all other debt besides loans on investment properties.4) Make sure you are setting some assets aside for retirement outside of real estate.If you follow this basic formula you are setting yourself up for success no matter what life and the markets throw at you.
