Turning my ranch into a loan for my mortgage for my first duplex?

[Jack B Slack]

Hello, fellow real estate investors! I'm trying to join the group and purchase my first duplex moving to A&M out of the Marine Corps! I'm currently going through the disability process (service really hit me hard physically) and am expecting above 50% disability. with that being said I also will receive income from the gi bill for a housing allowance. UNFORTUNATELY, those sources of income have not been finalized and the gi bill isn't an official form of income according to the VA. However, my family does own an 11,000-acre ranch.

Is there a way I can take a HELOC type of deal out of the ranch so I can put approval for the loan for the duplex?

any suggestions or help would be awesome, have a nice day!
