The reality is coastal CA has provided outstanding cash flow for the long term hold who does not refinance to extract equity.  

That is where generally the most value is extracted for price and terms when you buy.So even if you get a 3 days or 1 week jump on the competition doing it yourself then 1 purchase could get you a big payday.

Hello, Looking to re-fi my home and extract equity in the process.

I guess the part where I struggle is understanding how paying fees, getting a higher interest rate, and not being able to extract 100% equity anyways would end up being a great savings plan.I wonder how much I'd save if I put the costs to even get an HELOC and any incurred during the life of it towards the mortgage instead, aggressively paid it down, and kept my emergency savings fund the same rather than growing it.I imagine there are a few fringe scenarios people can concoct where paying money to use a loan to pay a loan saves money, but not many real world ones.
