Sellers Get More MoneyWith wholesaling, sellers often need to take a low cash offer.

.: Hello, I have a property I purchased with cash and renovated and am now looking to refinance.

Market crash is the problem for the house flippers if they pay too much price.If you are making good cash flow, market price doesn't have any effect on you unless you will need to sell the house.

You can’t write off negative cash flow into profitability.Personally, I never buy rentals with negative cash flow.

If they’re underfunded, you could get hit with special assessments.Since you want to stay local and focus on cash flow, commercial makes sense, but have you considered industrial or flex space?

A cash out refinance is the better choice for a few reasons including lower rates, longer term (30 year vs Heloc shorter term) equals a lower payment.

Cash for keys if it will work.

Mainly looking for appreciation rather than cash-flow. 

Still, I think you'd find it difficult to find one that would be a good long-term investment unless you had another ~20-30 years to go, it's at least cash neutral, and you don't plan to hold it too long (to avoid too much investment loss and before you get to the point where it's unsellable because of too few years left); that's another way of saying that maybe it suits your cash needs in the near-term or is at least less of a pill to swallow than other options until you find something that's more of a sensible long-term play
