Hey Justin - One option is a cash-out refi, which could help you tap into your 15% LTV to pay off the HELOC or fund new investments.

I would though flip land in both markets and I have been funding land deals in N.

@Calvin Thomas Grant funding I think will actually increase prices as the grant money comes from taxes so you are paying it anyway.

So they can access the funds   Otherwise the assets will be locked in probate.  

Typically they are not eligible for traditional financing which implies other funding sources (HML, private Monet, self funded, etc).  

I'm just waiting for the credit union to get the appraisal setup so I know exactly how much in funds I have available. 

Set a deadline for your first purchase and mitigate fears by screening tenants, buying for cash flow, and having a repair fund.

This is transactional funding, seller has vested interest in helping you.

Test the waters with the sponsor for 3-5 years as they hold the properties in the DST, then decide if you want to align with them as a part of your long estate plan.Last (and best) recommendation: Ask your broker what the funds from operations (FFO) ratio is.

Many investors hesitate to start their next fix-and-flip project due to barriers like limited funding, uncertainty in market conditions, lack of experience in estimating renovation costs, or fear of unexpected delays and expenses.
