I have been buying and holding in SC for the past three years, but I would love to grow my my portfolio to include multi family units and eventually apt complexes. Any advice on how to leverage my current properties in order to make the bigger purchases? Thanks in advance, TJ

@TJ G. You don't give any current debt information.  Do you own these outright?  There really is no secret to leverage rentals.  You either get a mortgage or home equity loan.  Not too many banks offer HELOCs on rentals, but some do.  For a mortgage you could go conventional, portfolio or use a private lender.
