We purchased our primary residence 3 years ago and did a recast on the mortgage after selling our previous primary so we have about 140k in equity.  

Owned the property about 4 years , has over 200k in equity , only 100k possibly available in heloc . 75%.

In mid 2016 my wife and our family had bought a very small 2 bedroom 1 bath and rehabbed it before we moved in, after the rehab and a years time we had around 100k in equity sitting there, sooo we went ahead and began the process to refi cash out 80k.This moved us on to the deal finding.

-I could in theory sell this place and put the 200+K in equity as a DP on another property that has acreage and thus I would have an ideal home and a relatively small payment still, assuming I buy a place for 500K or so.

@Andrew Gibson We used FHA 2% down on the first one, which was a short-sale, and used USDA 0% down on the second one, which we only did because we bought below value and it already had built-in equity.

Purchased with a 3% down FHA loan and a handful of additional principal payments, I have only about $20k in equity of the property.

I can get a property under contract, then should I find the investor and add my terms (as far as a stake in equity, or cash for finding the deal)? 

Without counting holding costs, I've got $4,300 of my own cash left in the deal, with $23,700 in equity currently in the deal after the refi. 

@Scott SchultzIf this were me; I’d issue a warning letter stating that future issues will be billed back to all tenants in equal parts.

They owe 189K in equity with an ARV of around 280K.
