Great Plan!

To get you the cash quicker why not do Wholesaling?   you can Wholesale some properties take the cash, and buy your rentals

Here is a link that will help you as a new investor

I think it's a great idea.  Please remember, however, that even if you own a property free and clear, the bank may still put you through the ringer and could potentially not qualify you for the loan.  Lenders usually want to see a history of 2 years rental history before they can use that to count towards your income.  I'd say your best bet to pull out equity is a small, local bank.  They're usually more open to those scenarios.  You could also consider marketing for owner finance deals where you don't need to qualify for the loan.  Good luck :)

Sounds like a good plan, and you also got a couple brilliant ideas above too consider.

If I may add a suggestion, Look into lease purchasing if you're new to being a landlord. When lease purchasing as an investor, you get the benefits of being a landlord with little to no tenant drama (meaning you don't deal with fixing repairs & tenants are easy to find)  and if structured right, good monthly income plus cash-out in the end.

Just my thoughts. Happy hunting
