First Flip Near Complete. Need Advice

[Anderson Morgan]

I purchased a single family home 1 year ago in July 2015 for 64k with a 15 year mortgage. I originally was just intending on fixing it up for my girlfriend and myself to live in and have a cheap monthly payment, but after a year and a complete rehab the market seems to have moved significantly in our favor making it tempting to sell. I believe my house is worth ~180k now. Recently I have set up my own LLC and am starting to try to figure out my game plan to scale my business into more flips. My issue is we have been living each month with little cash in the bank and would like to take some money out to pay down student loans and some cash in hand. What is the best way to do this with paying least in taxes and/or fees?

I need some advice on whether we should (1) sell the home, (2) do a cash out refinance, or (3) HELOC.

Purchase Price: 64k

Rehab: ~20k

Mortgage Balance: 57k

Closing Costs: 11k

Sale Price: 180K

Profit: 102k

@Holly Ann Hoff  the OP stated that the home was purchased a year ago, and assuming this home was purchased as their primary residence (this part is key), the profit from selling the home isn't subject to capital gains tax after 2 years of ownership.  Generally a house flipper will just pay the capital gains after owning the home for a shorter period of time and roll those funds into another flip since they can make much more over the 2 year period flipping more houses than they would save by holding onto the one property for that 2 year period and then selling.
