Post: Best way to scale to Next property? HELOC, cash out refi?

Hey there BP!!! just a quick check-in…currently how is everyone going about obtaining the next property? I want to make another move but cash was tied up on my last property (25% down) I've got decent equity built up so perhaps HELOC may be an option to use funds for down payment on another property but not sure if I want to do that. Also not sure if I want to refi given the rates today. So how can I get to my next property?

Quote from @Garfield M.:
I cant tell by the post how many gas meters and eletric meters there are. Just because it has two furnaces doesn't mean it has two meters. This may be the reason why the previous owner decided to put both thermostats on lockboxes. If there's only one gas meter then you'll just have to do gas included in rent.
If you have two gas meters and two electric meters for the building with unit 1 and garden on same gas/electric meter with the same furnace then I'd do utilities included include in rent for unit 1 and garden.
You can remove lockboxes and replace with modern thermostat with a programmable password. Assuming unit 1 and garden are on same furnace, you can also put a remote sensor in garden unit so you have a way of knowing that garden unit is warm (assuming there is no thermostat in garden unit). You'll want to be sure you keep that unit warm and the tenant happy so 311 is never called for your garden unit.

Hey hey @Kevin Hunter; in Chicago standard is they pay gas AND electric, but of course if it's co-mingled then I wouldn't have them pay gas. I have a 3-unit in the East Side as well and my gas meters and NOT separated so I charge extra in rent.
In Indiana you can charge for water / garage but not really seen here in Chicago UNLESS its a single family home, I've seen some people do that.
