But if you can secure one with solid terms, it could be a great way to access capital while keeping the rental.If you believe in 28277’s continued appreciation (and I do), I’d lean towards holding the rental, increasing rents through strategic upgrades, and leveraging equity via a HELOC or cash-out refinance if the terms make sense.

I've got about $525K in equity in the property, but lenders have told me that I cannot get a HELOC to access that equity for additional purchases because the duplex was financed as an investment - they have said TX law dictates that HELOC can only be used on primary residences.
