Looking out for suggestions @Kaushik SarkarIf the equity in your properties is your only source for new investing, and the new property you are buying still cash-flow's with the cost of your borrowed money (from your properties), there is no reason to not use it as an investment vehicle.  

If that number is greater than the purchase price of the house, then I would consider buying the property after looking at other factors (location, condition, neighborhood, zoning, etc).In other words, 6 straight months of rent should pay for the house. 

Even if the first property they buy works out as expected, most don't buy a second one. 

He finally decided not to buy it, so we did.

As far as loans go, can I buy 2-3 different houses or can I only buy 1 at a time?

Doing some risk analysis.Let’s say I buy a property now and market value drops soon by 20% is it better to have less downpayment such as 20%.  

I usually join all the facebook and meetup groups in the area in which I buy and go through 3 months of posts:)  and then connect and meetup and then see..but then I am very patient...

If it is not a good buy in first place it might would scar me from multifam.
