Most (not all) HELOCs require that the property is titled to an individual (not LLC) and are full doc, meaning your employment history, income, DTI etc will be factors.

If you did, you could take advantage of some unique strategies, like renting it out while traveling (as long as it’s for 14 days or less) and having that rental income be completely non-taxable.

You have a far better chance trying to sell to an individual than targeting hedge funds.

Look for professionals who understand the unique needs of real estate investors.

Use caution when borrowing against your stock portfolio, especially if it's a high volatility portfolio comprised of individual companies.

I manage a few smaller complexes and they are all on individual price schemes though they are usually within a few dollars of each other. 

This caused a historically unique opportunity for investors - they could buy Class A properties and immediately cashflow when renting them out.This couldn't last forever, and it didn't, as excited new investors drove up prices.

As a result, this isn’t the kind of market that attracts top-tier PM talent.Your best solution might be to either:1.Take on self-management if possible (and if you’re willing to put in the time/effort).2.Find an individual you can trust to handle these properties, set up very specific instructions and processes, micro-manage them initially to ensure standards are met, and compensate them well to make it worth their while.This approach requires more oversight on your part but can yield better results in markets like this.
