Preparing my SFR to be a rental

[Jose L Leos]

Hello BP members, I want to run this by everyone to get opinions and advice. I want to eventually rent out my SFR but need to make some repairs. Once I rent it out, I plan to buy a 3-4 unit and house hack. Since I do need to make repairs to my primary and have about 30k in equity, I'm not sure where to look to for funding the necessary repairs. Should I get a HELOC, VA rehab loan, or any other financial products that others have experienced with? Thanks
