I am a fee attorney for Fidelity and found this the best solution.1.

If the cash flow of your properties is still good, you could do a portfolio loan to pull out some of the equity to purchase more properties. 

As I recall I paid some fees, but no points.

My thought is is use the Rent Ready feature of reporting his payment history to the credit bureau so it can work in his favor as a trade line, but I'm wondering if this is an unnecessary added step since he can already pull transactions on his bank side. 

I finally sold it for a small fraction of what I paid for it, but I was out from under the HOA fees and taxes which at about $1,700. per year, which is a sizeable sum for me, and as we know, these fees increase every year.Bottom line is, DO NOT purchase property there for an investment. 

Look into factors like vacancy rates, local job growth, and tenant demand to pinpoint promising markets.Once you find a property, work on running the numbers carefully—factor in purchase price, rehab costs (if applicable), property management fees, and reserves.

The dollar-peso exchange rate benefited us with respect to fees, so we have some extra class A shares we can use as collateral. 

I’d recommend pulling out just what you need, like $100k.

If you need access to the $200,000, you could use a HELOC to temporarily pull equity from the property when good opportunities arise. 

We’re planning to move to Europe to start our family, and we’re looking to generate $1,000–$2,000 USD/month in net income (after management fees and other expenses) with these RE investments.
