Pulling a single dataset is easy.

I have an investment property that I want to pull the equity out on.

The remaining 10 acres is gently sloped and wooded- initially I wanted to build 4-5 log cabins to use as STRs but after looking in to the costs and requirements it seems like a bad idea.

I am looking to pull equity off of them inorder to buy more homes.I am told DSCR is the way to go. my credit is 800 and my DTI is real good.So what way would you go about pulling funds from these homes?

Functionally, it operates as a quad.When I attempted to refinance, the appraiser and lender would not proceed because:The property is zoned R-4, andThe previous owner renovated the building without pulling new permits.As a result, the lender will not treat it as a legal 4-unit, and financing has stalled.I’m trying to do this the right way and stay compliant while also unlocking funding.Questions for the group:1) What’s the best way to rectify this—rezoning, variance, special exception, or legal non-conforming use?

I am seeking advice when it comes to pulling out a HELOC on our primary residence.

GENTLY WITH A CHAIN SAW (then have the woodchipper ready!) 

The GC recommendation filter is gold -- they know who's reliable and who'll ghost.One thing I'd push back on gently: you're right that you overpaid at 0k when your gut said 5-80k, but that's also data now.

One thing I’d gently challenge you to consider:Are you evaluating whether the property works…or whether your current financing assumptions make it work?

It pulls comps and gives you an ARV range with confidence levels.
