Hi Timothy, welcome to the BP community!

Hi @Geoff EngelWelcome to the BiggerPockets community!

Sometimes tapping into that equity for a strategic reinvestment can pay off big.How do you feel about your portfolio’s performance overall?

I am not able to take equity out of my condo because it is currently on the blacklist due to HOA fixing the roofing and a Fannie Mae rule stating, if more then 50% of the condos in that community are owned by investors, I may not be able to refi.

You looking for an attorney to sue yourself ( suing the hoa is suing yourself since you are a member of the community) may not be worth your time and you may be responsible if mold does grow while you have a tenant and then they complain of health issues since you have not addressed the problem.

Hi Kevin, welcome to the community! 

It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.Happy to connect to discuss further. 

Hi Vivien, welcome to the community!

I know DR Horton and Lennar are still building a lot, but they seem to be building smaller communities.

I have always imagined getting to the point where I could hold/ run a small community of mountain cabin rentals or a guest house, something along those lines.Thanks,Chad  Yes I meant AirBnb and Mid-term rentals, rent by the room, glamping (although I probably wouldn't go that route), buying commercial RE and running a business (for me that would be a lot of work with a W2 job and buying property locally or leasing out a space is expensive here).
