I don't feel safe in war zones or ghettos, so that excludes a lot of the north and east parts of the valley, but that doesn't meant there aren't pockets of nice places with good returns.My Cap Rate and CoC Return were 6.7%, as I am currently not leveraged in any of my properties.

I don't know squat about NY RE, but it sounds like these sellers are trying to exclude folks using HML, and look for only a) All cash buyers or b) HELOC buyers.If you want to play in this arena, and that is what is going down, I'd suggest opening a HELOC on some other property you own with the highest maximum credit line that your equity position will allow but a $0 current balance.Offer accepted, max out the HELOC, funds arrive next day, show proof to seller.Then you would use the HML to pay off the HELOC a few weeks later, if you'd prefer that the debt be secured by the subject property.
