20k in equity now or after you've fixed up the property?

I'm paying no CG and still have the rest in equity.

Our house is on an FHA right now and we have around 30k in equity on it.We have been looking into HELOC or HEL but we are wondering what other options are there to get that money out and straight into our new home. 

I have a paid off rental property (first investment from 8 years ago)  that I will either get the HELOC on that or I might use equity in my primary residence as I have about 100k in equity on that.

The property that has 550 cash flow also has about 35-40000 in equity and I have contemplated selling it to clean most of our slate.

My parents have about $750k in equity in various rental and personal properties.

As of 12/2018 she now has over 60,000 in equity.

I'm deciding between paying off my student loans or saving for a rental property.My current house is paid off and I have no mortgage.I have $350K in Equity in my house.Here are details about my student loans.Loan 1) $2,800 @ 3.61%Loan 2) $6,200 @ 3.15%I don't have 20% yet for a rental property, but I'm deciding if I should pay off the student loans.. or at least loan 1 for now?

@Jordan MoorheadIf you are simply looking to make pretax contributions and solely invest in equities, then a big box company like Fidelity Investments or Schwab may be your best bet. 

Walked into $50,000 in equity after everything was done, and this will be a cash flow king.
