Remortgaging a property that's paid off

Hi all, I'm new to this so please bear with me!

I've got a property worth 250k that's been paid off and I wanted to know if there's a way I can use that as collateral for purchasing another one that I can rent out? My salary is 60k and I want to borrow 150k...

Would it be equity release or remortgage?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

    Equity release is more expensive than a mortgage.
    Whether or not you can get a mortgage depends on your age, earnings and the policies of the lender. See a broker.
