I'm thinking to honestly just HELOC it and do the refi when the time is right.

HELOC allows you to access up to 90% LTV if you need to access cash for other investments. 

I can get a HELOC on my home for $85K and I can get a HELOC on my commercial building for $50K.I'm NOT a carpenter or a handyman but I'm willing to learn.Having said all that.....I'm really not sure where to start.   

Questions I’m wrestling with:Should I look at a cash-out refinance or a HELOC on my current property?

It’s hard to get started without a huge amount and we just don’t have that. we would use the heloc to purchase the land out right, then have a construction loan for the home and have the rest of the heloc for backup/extra cash if needed.

Or consumer lines of credit if you can take out a HELOC.  

My first and third door are here, looking to get a HELOC on one to do some value-ads to the other :)HELOC on investment properties take a decent amount of equity.

Hello all, First time poster here. Im trying to decide my best course of action to get into the rental game, but also need a larger house for my wife and 4 kids. Have alot of equity built up in our small home so debat...

Happy to run numbers with you if you want to see how it stacks up against your VA loan or heloc idea.

One option is to tap into the equity through a HELOC or a cash out refinance.
