What am I doing wrong?

[Frank Gigliotti]

I have been investing in 3-4 unit properties in Chicago for the past 4 years and everything is going great but I feel like every time I purchase a new property im taking two steps back. Like im taking from Peter to pay Paul. 

I have been buying in cash then cashing out on the property to get the next one. I have just recently finished a 3 unit and have it up and running and am now face with the choice  to continue on this path or slow down to pay off some debt.

Any advice?
