Post: equity

Looking for some help.
I would like to pull some equity out of a property (non owner occupied, no mortgage) and use that equity for additional real estate purposes. One purpose is to use some of the money as a down payment on another property. I am having trouble because every bank I speak with says the property must be owner occupied to use a HELOC.
@Brandon Turner book The Book On Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down talks about how some portfolio lenders and hard money lenders may still allow you to obtain a second mortgage on a rental property.
I know there has to be a way that others do this.
What am I missing? Please help
Thanks

the attorney just said to us no exceptions. No explanation further, just said there are no exceptions.
I figured i would pose the question to the BP community and see what they have to say.

To clarify the question,
we are in the 89th day of the 180 period and need to liquidate completely the proceeds with the escrow company.
Our attorney is informing us that we can not liquidate and request the respective funds.
is our attorney correct that we can not liquidate the funds?

Hi BP,
Need help with a 1031 question.
On a 1031 election, can you liquidate the proceeds prior to the ending of the 180 day period requirement without penalty?
If so, are there specific situations that allow you to?
