Any advice is greatly appreciated.Thank you,Casey EasonSpokane, WA

Here is the summary of my situation that requires creative thought:Location: DC Suburbs (Clifton, VA)Original sale price: $300KOriginal mortgage: $240K ($60K down)Money spent rehabbing property since 2008: $70KTotal cash invested: $130KCurrent sale price (based on comps): $430KAmount owed on mortgage: $208KPotential cash generated from sale: $($222K, not including transfer costs)Estimated Monthly Rent: $2,200Current Monthly Payment for M/T/I: $1,300 *Biggest yard and likely one of the most updated homes in a desirable community where "average days to sell" is less than 14.Now the issues:Need $100K-$150K out of the house (or via investment) in order to put down-payment on next home, which will be primary residence (probably a $600K home).I've plugged numbers into every rent-or-sell calculator out there, but always feel like I'm missing something big.

Several of my friends in DC have ended up losing money when they were no longer allowed to rent their property out.

everywhere I look online it says 20% down for investment homes but we are being told by all lenders it's 25%.It's a duplex in Washington state. 

Background on myself I am 25, recently married to my wife (who isn't quite as enthusiastic about real estate for me so house hacking is out the window) and own a 4 bed 2.5 bath in Bothell, WA.

Does anyone know of a lender in Washington who will do a home equity line of credit (HELOC) on an investment property ?

My wife thinks it would be better in July-Aug to possibly sign Washington University students.

Need investor friendly title company in Kirkland WA area.

I'm looking for in vendor in Washington State so if anyone has a referral that would be greatP-
