There are programs to find solds so that would be a good idea but an agent can pull directly from the MLS.

The loan is 12 months, pulls twice a month, the interest is minimal because I'm paying it off so fast. 

The amount of equity I call pull is less than the cash I have but not significantly less.When doing this analysis it struck me that it may not be worth using a HELOC for the simple fact that the interest rate is ~9%* while the funds in my high yield account are only yielding ~5%*.

@Robert StephensonIt’s great that you’ve built solid equity in your current rental property— Here are a few options to consider:Cash-Out Refinance: You can refinance your rental property and pull out some of the equity to use as a down payment for another property.

If you are trying to continue holding the other two properties then you should pull out some equity in the form or a cash out refinance on one or both or use a portfolio loan as @Jimmy Murray suggested.

In years past it was pretty ridiculous how often threads would get pulled when any little argument popped up.

Quote from @Michael Rodriguez: Howdy fellow Memphis investors,Any ideas for protecting thieves from pulling out the HVAC copper pipe? 

You can't pull money out if there is no equity.

I’m having a hard time finding a great price in a great location and I just can’t seem to pull the trigger on anything.

Generally larger commercial properties and shopping centers are easier to classify with hard and fast rules, but to the points above the residential areas really move very quickly and have way more nuance than most people care to admit.zip codes are generally way too large for my liking at least in my market to provide any kind of insights other than macro level economics but even then highways or rivers that cut through a zip code can end up with totally different trade areas.we can get pretty granular with cellphone data and with grocery center data to understand the trade areas and their true boundaries, but that kind of data pull is generally only cost effective for investors doing larger scale projects or developments, and honestly we still just end up getting on the ground and feeling it out, so I generally tell people that the money is better spent on a plane ticket and weekend trip in the area you are looking rather than any kind of "trade area" level data studies.and generally B class in 1 area means something different than another.
