Either by using more of your own money, private money or leveraged money.

  $10mm can be a $100mm investment with leverage. 

You have a great start with your property and there are many ways to leverage it and other opportunities to grow your portfolio.I am active duty Air Force with a couple years from retirement.

The greatest leverage you can use is to find a real estate agent that knows the investment side of the business.

I agree with @Kevin Sobilo and @Andrew Syrios..For your first investment property, you shouldn't "get cute" and get yourself highly leveraged with Private Money lenders who charge high interest rates.

Even if your property is accurately priced (or even priced on the lower end), you're always going to attract lower offers.Buyers know they have leverage right now and buyer agents are persuading would-be buyers by telling them they can offer under asking price.These are ultimately your properties so only you know your holding costs and stresses of holding the properties.

Unless there is something that the seller needs, you don’t really have the leverage to negotiate further.The best you can probably do at this point is to check your financing contingency if that is still in play.

That it isn’t possibly for you to leverage other peoples time and perhaps even money because either A.

Nate,Thanks, the thought behind forced equity is primarily to be able to leverage the cash out refi in a year to be able to fund another investment.

HELOC's can be a great way to leverage out, but be aware that they are variable in interest.
