Afternoon,
I am looking to tap into my rental property equity. I have been told that a HELO is not possible with rental properties, is this true? And what is the best path forward? Thanks.

Quote from @Ray Hage:
It sounds a bit high imo but it really depends how much work he/she is doing. Are you dropping off a box of receipts or do you have everything well organized in a spreadsheet and sending that over to them?
Hey Ray, I am providing spreadsheets from Stessa in an organized manner.

Morning,
My current accountant charges me $725 to do my taxes for my three properties. Is that normal? Or should I go somewhere else?
Thanks.

Good morning,
I took out a personal loan for RE investing in order to bridge the gap in the acquisition and then I am going to cash out refi. Can I write off the interest on the personal loan and will the bank frown on me using a personal loan when I go to cash out refi?
Thanks,
Andrew

Evening BP,
I was just wondering If at all possible house hacking was even possible in VA? Specially, Northern Spotslyivania & Fredericksburg? I am looking to retire from the Marines in about a year and a half and settle in the area.
Thanks.
