here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA.

ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.

does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation? obviously it would have to be no income verification lender. i understand that the interest rate might very well be higher. i have good credit and an impeccable payment history. 

im looking to consolidate and pay off debts other than the property. 

much thanks in advance 

thanks for your input. im not concerned. ive just never done hard money. thanks for your insight and information. i have all of the information you suggested will be required. im attempting this next week. my worst case scenario is a hard no. that just makes me work harder

thank you for your input. so far this seems to be in line with what i expected. 

i currently own a duplex and have been land lording for 18 yrs. i have found a potential investment opportunity  30 miles away. it is located in a community slated for substantial growth over the next decade due to the current construction of new semiconductor manufacturing facilities. the property is a 24 unit apartment building. supposedly it historically maintains 95-100% occupancy and has a waiting list. my question is what documentation should i expect the lenders to want?  i have the current rent rolls & yearly expense report so far. however, i would assume they will require much more. as i have never approached a hard money lender, i would appreciate any advice given. im in texas by the way. thank you
