I am not familiar with how HELOCs work but they declined me saying my DTI is too high.  

We have worked with them and have had great results. highly recommend

Some folks will give you the simple reply that if you can't fill it, your rent is either too high or something else is wrong with your ad.

: A 1031 Exchange can defer a significant amount of capital gains tax, so it’s often worth it for high-value transactions.

@Kaaren Hall after seeing your post i called them right away, their fees are extremely high for an HSA that for the most part most people don't have a lot of money in.I max my HSA every year, but if you have a self only plan you can only put about 4k /yr  and if you have some medical bills it's less.they are also very restrictive on taking money out, and no CC to pay the doctor. prior to speaking with them I was extremely excited to see this opportunity you suggested,  but after my conversation I'm no longer...I will look for other options now that I see there may be some, so thanks so much for bringing it up.

OP, keep in mind not having access to heating and sharing same water heater and etc will require an easygoing tenant in the nextgen.

I’ve been working with several lenders for DSCR loans, but I’ve found that the fees are quite high, with minimal benefit in terms of lowering my current interest rate.

Rents may be high, but where are taxes and insurance.

I am assuming here, but if it's been on the market so long, it's priced too high for it's condition. 

Strong rental markets with low vacancy rates are ideal for long-term holds, while areas with high ARV growth are great for flips.
