Should I increase my portfolio before buying an apartment?

[Freddie Williams]

Just curious what everyone perspective is in regards to current situation. I have 2 properties with total equity of 100k. These properties are clearing 600 a month in positive cash flow. Should I:

1. Sell my rentals for down payment?

2. Increase my rentals for a strong personal financial statement for funding?

Just wondering what everyone thinks. I have rehab properties for rental for many years and have sold them and now.starting over. I want to be goin into the right direction this second time around.

Appreciate everyone's input and time. Thanks in advance to everyone.

I agree with Chris, If it is cash-flowing enjoy it. if you come across a property that can produce more in monthly cashflow I would 1031 it into that deal.
