Ideally looking to cash flow positive on all properties.  

I have a duplex I have been renting for almost 10 years and want to use the equity in that property to use as a down payment on a storage facility.

Not sure if hard money would be the correct route to go for this one or notHey @Scott Allen I generally run the initial underwriting to minimize the developer's equity (@Shayan Sameer) based on the max LTV % or LTARV % that the handful of HMLs that quote me on my deals.

This initial negative equity position consumes the initial cash flow.  2) the addition of the adu makes the property multi family and likely makes rent control apply.  

Quote from @Nicholas Dillon: Hello All,I have around $200k in equity in my primary home.  

The majority of them are in the grind and are not at a place where they have millions of disposable dollars where they realize that buying one more profitable investment won't have a huge positive impact in their life.

However, if i would take 100k home equity on a rental A (ex. 100k) and use 50k each (same as above) for 2 rentals (B & C).

I fairly positive that wont work, i have read that contacting mortgage brokers is the best way to go if you can find one.

I'd recommend a HELOC for your situation, especially since there is already good equity in the project.

Chances are this is NO deal property as the X will want their fair share and a fair market appraisal will need to be done and the equity split equally.
