A HELOC or cash-out refinance would let you access funds for the down payment on a new property without needing to sell or relocate.

You can get access.

This property can be refinanced at any time you feel is right after the 1031 exchange is complete to buy other property or access funds for any reason.  

Of course each level grants you access to different things, I'm just wondering if anyone has tried it and if so, was it successful in helping you find funding? 

It is also why such neighborhoods are most likely to appreciate because those who own properties in these neighborhoods are on the correct side of the supply/demand equation.Since your post is focused on Philadelphia, the city has good fundamentals...strong Ed's & Med's, good accessibility to both NYC & DC, own port, international airport etc.

Politely but firmly emphasize that access is required to maintain a safe, habitable home.Propose Multiple Appointment Options: Offer a few specific dates and times for the repairs, emphasizing that this is to address her reported issues.

Good morning BiggerPockets,I am a new investor/wholesaler and I am trying to understand the most effective way of finding the ARV of a property without having access to the MLS?

Generally waiting at least 3 months will allow you to use the new appraised value compared to the purchase price so if you've done renovations that will help with your LTV for either a refinance where you change loan programs or rates (a rate and term refinance) or a cash out refinance that will give you access to more potential cash for your next project.More info on DSCR loans: DSCR loans won't use your income to underwrite the loan.

Otherwise many many many agents spend a lot of time and effort finding property and writing contracts only to find that the funds can't be transferred, or they don't have immediate access to the funds, or they need some kind of approval from 3-4-5th parties, or there are exchange restrictions, or 9000 other excuses.You probably need to find them a commercial broker who can handle whatever kind of investment they want to make. 

So, for example of a neutral development, if one of our syndicated loans as asked for a payoff amount we will access that chance of being paid off, and inform investors so that they will know that they will have X amount of capital going into there liquid funds.
