We've even just lowered our minimum loan amount from $500K to $300K, and still making up to 75% LTV available to unlock equity and cash out.

We own our primary residence free and clear; I’m wondering how best to unlock that equity to acquire cash flowing commercial RE - take out a home equity loan or in some other way use the equity as collateral.Thanks for any suggestions.

@Robert Norvell, First, I'd hire a professional photographer or a friend that has a great camera and knows how to use it

Are there large, high-quality photographs directed towards the target market’s interests?

I also have  had traction offering virtual tours of my place, which required a drone/photographer to handle. 

You mentioned that marketing is your biggest concern right now - we create a professionally-written description and pay for a professional photographer to take great photos for your listing, and promote you on five major listing sites - VRBO, HomeAway, Airbnb, FlipKey, and TripAdvisor.

For instance, they need to go unlock a house for someone who wants to go back a second time and do some measurements, they give you the keys and you do it.  

You should be able to get an extended season in the spring in the fall with Birders and Photographers who like to flock (pun intended)to that area for the wildlife.Good Luck!

I have done exactly this, but only after leaving the job(s) and unlocking my 401(k).

My PM is scheduling a professional photographer and the unit is clean and in decent shape.
