@Brian Chadwick A cash out refinance might offer more favorable interest rates than your HELOC provides.

A number of our offerings are secluded; many vacationers are looking for that experience.

However, if you can identify a reinvestment opportunity that offers significantly better returns or aligns with your goals, selling through a 1031 exchange could make sense.

I will also have my agent there with me to offer comps to aid in their appraisal if they are receptive to it. 

If you own 25%+ of the business paying your w2, youre still self-employed.There are bank statement/1099 loan program as well, which is what you have been offered.

See what other controls they offer.  

This might give a one-time (non-scalable) boost to cash flow, offer multiple value-add options, and allow the house-hacker peace of mind, via the assumed mortgage, in long-term breakeven or positive cash flow in the event that the value-add plans end up not being executed, and/or the person has to move out, and rent by the room or STR become unavailable for some reason at a future date.

They would offer a more hands free approach, but eat up the profit in return.

MLS, Made an offer I couldn't refuse How did you finance this deal?

@Tanner King learn how to work backwards on analyzing a deal, so you figure out the purchase price to offer to make your numbers work.Too many newbies think they have to offer asking price, which is not the case.
