I've lived through rehabs, flips, short sales and made lots of money on buying and selling real estate.

So far the return looks good but I guess it is for long term investment not for short term. 

Quote from @Brian J Allen: I haven’t come across many articles connecting the Dunning-Kruger effect to real estate, so I thought I’d share my thoughts.In short, the Dunning-Kruger effect explains how, when you know very little about a subject, you tend to think you know a lot.

If you are not going to refinance (which may be difficult anyway since you don’t have a job), but are able to pull out HELOC I would use that money for short term investments such as flips or BrRRRs.

I would recommend using your HELOC for short term use and make sure to pay it back off quickly.

Senior Living here is in short supply and high demand - good luck!  

I (or one LLC) loans money to the LLC that is short of funds.

Consider house hacking and short-term rentals for reduced living expenses.

Hey Brian, Most DSCR lenders will underwrite based on Long-Term and Short-term Rents.
