First timer predicament

[Sean Harris]

Hi all, I have a question and I am in need of some advice. I have been wanting to get into the real estate game for some time now and I have been doing my homework on location and what types of property I would want to get into. I think I am interested in investing in SFR in San Antonio to hold and rent out. My predicament is this. I currently have a job that pays well but in the next 10 years they will be closing the doors and I am wanting to make real Estate my full time job over that period. I currently own my own house with a attached unit that provides great cash flow. The thing is I want to buy property in San Antonio but I don't know the smartest and most effective way of coming up with the 20% on the house. I don't have 20k just laying around but I do have equity in my current home. So what's the best way to round up the funds for investing? Thank you
