That said, selling is another option to free up cash for a lower-cost, higher-cash-flowing property.

(And since I also got bookings via my earlier VRBO pre-approvals, didn't realize until the inquirer let me know they were going with another option, that VRBO holds it for 72 hours.) 

Another odd thing was the same buyer added a second option of a cash purchase that was close to half the asking price.

To navigate this, consider options like keeping your current home as your primary residence while house hacking a multi-unit property, using the HELOC funds strategically before moving, or exploring alternatives like a bridge loan or cash-out refinance.

If you google there are several invest in Teak options.  

You won't find many refinance options on these types of projects besides going the SBA or USDA route most likely.

If you are just starting it sounds like house hacking may be an option for you. 

I have another one were I optioned 120 acres that just got brought into long term planning for chips act. paid 5 million for it and spend 10k a month negative..
