another new investor

This may be dumb but I know when one purchases a home to live in, the down payment cannot be borrowed money (at least that was my situation when I bought my home), but is this the same in investing? I have a lot of equity and wanted to use some to buy a 2-3 family building.

thanks

You can certainly take advantage of your equity and use it in part or in full toward a purchase of investment property.

Thanks for the info

you can use the equity in your poperties to invest in other properties to generate extra income. this is the advantage of having equity in any property you own and the equity that you take out of your properties is what you use to purchase more properties. the equity in you investments is your money

Great, thanks - I was somewhat confused at first but that makes sense, as long as my cash flow accounts for the euity loan or HELOC.
