Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

I have been on BP a long time and maybe about eight years ago , a person had a small chance of finding a posted house for sale here that can be flipped.

I make it a personal goal to never turn down help.

You want this to be your backup plan if things take longer than anticipated, you do not want to dip into personal credit cards so i would use a heloc to help with down payment but try to keep a nice available balance on a heloc as your insurance policy. 

Personally, I would not keep a rental that is not expected to cash flow. 

I personally haven't sent postcards, I've had good luck with PPC and Video ads. 

Quote from @John Friendas Quote from @Patrick Roberts: If you are on the note or personally guarantee the debt, then it will affect the liability side of DTI, regardless of whether the lender reports the loan on your personal credit.

You are still going to have holding costs and a heloc will just have less holding costs that you would if you were doing a personal line or hard money.
