My first rental is almost paid for.  Where do I go from here?  Do I refinance and use the equity to make down payments on other properties?

Let's not talk about death. 70 is the new 50. lol

Pull the equity, buy 2 more rentals, as long as you can make it work where all is positive cash flow. If something does happen to you (God forbid), your heirs will have debt in the property, but also have property going up in value.
