Give your time to the game.

Could someone please advise an actionable step or game plan I can follow to tap into my equity correctly (if that makes sense here) whether that's HELOC, Cash-Out or another strategy?

Decide which game you want to play.

We can set a time to hop on the video or hell you should come check out Chicago for yourself! 

Quote from @Matt Tortora: Fair point - but I will be partnering with someone who has good MF experience.If you are partnering with someone with experience in the game, your value to the equation is not equal.

Something to the effect that they will look at pics and video of the space and give you ideas on how to make the space unique with good style to help your place stand apart from the competition and you can purchase the material from the company as well (think wall accents, cabinetry, etc)I think the pod dropped in the last couple weeks.

Pop over your URL and I'm happy to shoot back a loom video with some thoughts on ways to optimize it a bit more. 

The profit wasn't worth the remodel and sweat equity so we choose the long game and cash-flow. 

Account Closed - I am trying to map out a game plan for my next investment, and a good friend of mine who is an experienced realtor wants me to consider Section 8 because he has a client who is an investor making very good money off of it.

They got in the game when rates were low and it was easy to find cashflow plays.
