What to Do with the Equity in Rental Properties

I’m usually a proponent of utilizing your equity when possible, but of course this is going to depend on a few factors. Here are a few questions to ask yourself:

1. What are your goals?
2. What type of cash flow are you wanting to achieve?
3. How would an equity-based loan impact your credit score or debt-to-income ratio?
4. Where are you in the three stages of real estate investing?

If you would like to grow your portfolio further, I think tapping into that equity via home equity lines of credit can be a great strategy!

How to Learn More About Loan Forgiveness

This is going to depend on your loan type and your banker. I’d suggest meeting with your lender first to see if they can make any arrangements with you. You can also consider speaking with an attorney or a credit specialist. I would also recommend checking out these two episodes I recorded with Wayne the Credit Guy:

Ideas for Investing without a Steady Income

If you can’t prove a steady income, it could be difficult to attain traditional financing. In this specific scenario, I’d suggest scheduling a free call with my team to chat about your options. Non-recourse lending might be a viable route. Using money that’s sitting in a savings account can be a great way to increase your returns and monthly cash flow.
