Once you or your tenant move into the property, have the property reappraised and have the bank give you a line of credit against the home. Get the maximum line possible and decide where you want to invest it, when you're ready. Once you have your next property, you can put the potential positive cash flow into a savings account where you save another down payment for your next property, or you can pay down your line of credit to reuse it. If you can naturally save money and don't need to tap into this line, then do not, as you are still paying interest on it when you do, but it does allow you growth options. Repeat, perhaps once a year or every two years, whatever your plan may be. [2021] - Shazia Virani
