HELOC or other sources of cash

[Ryan Thomson]

I am trying to build up cash for the next deal. Also, as a way to have extra funds should I need them. 

I would like to do a HELOC above 85% on my Primary. It's a duplex.

I tried to apply for a HELOC and the rushed loan provider missed a lot of my income and didn't think I could qualify.

I have the following items to help me qualify:

- A realtor job (1.5 years) that will make me close to 6 figures

- Two rental properties that will make me close to 36k/year (NET)

- My primary home mortgage completely covered by the rental of the downstairs unit. 

What ideas do you have for qualifying for a HELOC? Are there other options you would recommend for getting my hands on some cold hard cash (or credit)?
