If you want to establish a long term relationship with someone who lives eats and sleeps creative financing and loan products - I recommend getting in touch with a well-versed broker who manage the relationship and introduce you to competitive products in the market.

What appears to be great "curb appeal" to one person might be overwhelming to another. 

It might because they don't want any random person just setup a property management software to make it look legit and using it to scam people (tenants)

HELOCs are generally provided to properties that are held in the owner's personal name.Are your family members not interested in refinancing the property?

Assuming that they aren't simply lucky in market timing, excessive in leverage, or excessively risky, why do you think that some companies and leaders ARE able to duplicate the ROI driving expertise and/or improve personal-business productivity in a way that allows scalability?

I have other HELOCs that were much easier to get both personally and professionally.

Haven’t used it personally but a good friend of mine who self manages around 20 doors uses it and swears by it. 

Gordon is the owner, I doubt whether he could completely hide behind his LLC to protect personal liability. 

I don't know if they still do it but if memory serves a few years ago TD Bank would do a HELOC on a rental in second position but only if it was titled in someone's personal name. 

The person worked for H&R Block, now works for TurboTax Live and is being honest about their skills: NOT QUALIFIED.
