Lot's of owners have had a run up in equity getting little returns for cash flow.

I currently have around $450-500k in equity.

., you owe more than you have in equity). 

Hi,I've posted a few times for advice but recently I have made the move to leave the world of being a rental tenant in order to live in a multifamily property and rent out one unit to offset the cost.Once I move I will be living in a 2 unit property with approximately 200k in equity (40%) right from the start.

I can make interest-only payments but without a big jump in equity (to support cash out refi) I don't see how to cash that investor out without selling the house(s) purchased with their investment money.

Now, this building must appraise for at least 357,000 (REFI LTV 80%) in order to pull out 285,600 in equity out of the building to pay yourself (200k) and the Seller (85,600) by end of Year 2 Hope this helps.

The only thing that I would like to add on the buy and hold side is, in our single family portfolio we like to achieve at least a 100% return on capital gain, meaning that if it costs us 10K total to get into a deal then we like to have at the VERY least 10K in equity (usually more but this is a bare minimum).

The turnkeys I’ve bought have had about the same amount of built in equity as the DIY way (albeit it different markets).

I have about 1.65M in debt 1M in equity spread out over 31 doors.

Hi..Yes 600k in equity and I bring in $300 net cash flow and pay down $1350 on mortgage.
