You just need to keep up with what those numbers are because you have access to that information when they go up.

You could need serious reserves and access to cash.

Do you work with any specialty tax firms to help us small business owners get access to R&D tax credits, cost segregation and other specialty tax credits?

I also have access to off-market inventory in that area, as I am local in NC and would love to connect.

Access to utilities like water, electric, sewer, and internet plays a HUGE role in which strategy to choose.

These require lower cash invested and you might be able to access lower interest rates that way, so short-term value fluctuations won't matter so much. 

Are you working with a Realtor® or a contractor, both can likely solve your problem as the agent will have access to more data and knowledge of how to run comps, the contractor will be able to give you a better idea of repair costs.

@Joseph Turner The funds seasoning period (ie the amount of time the HELOC funds are in your liquid accessible bank account) is different than the ownership seasoning of the property.

We put up a split rail fence for which they had to remove the rails for ROW access (this was to prevent OHVs on our property, not them). 

The thing is equity costs you to access.
