Hello BP,I’m interested in exploring investment property opportunities in areas like Troy, IL, and Cleveland, OH.

I'm currently exploring the best options to pull the equity out of my current properties.  

As an aside, he has a property in a neighboring town that he will sell for the lump sum.I know there are better options (ie. him keeping the property in his name, refinancing, us managing, etc.) but the above scenario is all that we are looking to explore at this point. 

Take your time, explore your options, and negotiate the best deal.As they say, "Opportunity knocks for those who are prepared."

Hey William, great question - Conventional has limits but have you explored non-conventional DSCR loans?

Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m a lender exploring opportunities in hard money lending and would love to hear from those with experience.

@Philip Muka have you explored/researched the "asset island" method? 

In addition to this, I own a property in Plantation, Florida, where I’m exploring the potential to add apartments or convert it into a multifamily unit.

Then again, maybe his exploration of the meteor might throw it off its orbit and cause it to crash into Earth and wipe out my real estate.

I'm new to the community and excited to explore!
