Mortgaging home I own to finance rentals

[Ritch Shepherd]

I want to buy more rentals and need to cash in on some rentals that I own free and clear. How are banks determing loan amounts for equity loans these days? What type of loan should I seek and what type of bank should I work with? It's been a few years since I've worked with a bank for financing and I know everything's changed. Thank's for any info you can give me. Ritch
