A true levelized cost of energy (what the true price would be if it were an actual free market) gets very complicated quickly and it's basically impossible to calculate accurately due to the energy industry being so heavily manipulated by incentives from the government for so long, across all forms of energy. 

With that kind of equity you would be to find a newer, nicely performing Quad in a market that is appreciating. 

Charge market rent. 

I'd recommend speaking with local specialists in your target market to look at multiple investment options side-to-side.Lastly, some of my clients have been encouraged to stay away from HELOCs unless they expect a lump sum (inheritance, sale of other asset, bonus, etc.) to pay off the HELOC in the next year or 2.

Very solid market, been investing there over 10 yrs and the rents continue to climb!
