Looking to tap into it without doing a cash out refi to replace the existing rates with current rates.

Focus on growth areas, understand local regulations, and use your rental history to build credibility with brokers and sellers.Good luck!

To get this amount through a cash-out refinance at 80% LTV, the home value must be at least $453,800 after one year.Based on your report your ARV right after reno is $425,000Add a 8% home appreciation for one year $34,000Estimated Home Value After 1 Year:$459,000Assuming a refinance after 12 months with a property value of $459,000: New Home Value (Post-Appreciation): $459,000 New Mortgage Amount (80% LTV): $367,200 Existing Debt Balance after 12 months: -$360,000 (because you have been paying interest only) Assuming Bank fees on New Mortgage: - $200 Cash Pulled Out: $7,001, allowing you to recover to pay only 7k on your initial investment of $29,790, leaving $ $22,789 in the deal.Many new investors mistakenly believe the BRRRR strategy ends after the cash-out.

WikipediaPro-business environment: Companies are reluctant to set up operations in cities with burdensome regulations that hinder profitable operations.

There will always be demand in the market (it's not like some covid markets that could disappear as vacation destinations almost entirely over the next decade), and the regulation risk is as near to zero as you can get in this industry so long as you buy in the approved tourist zones (again, compared to some smaller/less mature markets where they could outlaw STRs tomorrow).For short period cash flow there are better options. 

New to the BP forum and joined out of curiosity for a hypothetical scenario.I know everyone's situation is different, and everyone has different needs and priorities within Real Estate.So I was curious on one of the many situations one might find themselves in.In this scenario I wanted to ask if a HELOC on either your primary or an existing rental property out of 4 total properties would be a viable strategy for acquiring practically " turn-key " Multi-Family rentals?

Our best use for the property would be to build a couple of large estate home (8k sq' and up) and form a private estate, but, being that we are in the County with no existing zoning requirements, we could also build what we want and potentially turn it into an income generating property.

Regarding renting your existing home, you have to look at it as a business.

You'll likely pay high premiums, face lots of claim denials due to "pre-existing conditions", and deal with service delays.

This is my 1st post and I am so incredibly thankful that a forum like this exists and for any information to help guide me through this tough decision is so immensely appreciated!
