How to cash out of my properties

[Kenneth Mims]

I was hoping to get a little advice on cashing out the equity in some of my properties.  I own several that are paid off and have steady tenants in them for many years.  I was hoping to group the properties together and get the equity out of them for another business adventure.  When I talk to the lender, what exactly should I say or ask? this is the first time that I will be taking equity out of my properties.  Thanks in advance
