Please no politics here, just looking for guidance on what may happen based on your insights so I can manage my bsusiness. 

These things going to court you have to Steel Man the argument and if you can do that with a good base for your side being in the right/wining the argument then you may be able to win in court.

Hi Ben, I'm also based in Snohomish county.

That also plays a major role in what to do. end of day stocks and real estate over time provide the same return on average - so it is really based on the individual, their experience and desire Thank you. 

If I wasn't able to get the cash together, using a private lender would've been a good option.

@Jerry Chilimidos,Here is a list of lenders who specialize in lending to IRAs and 401Ks:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/2810/50272-list-o...I don't know where your rentals are located and how they are performing but selling might be an option vs doing cash-out refi.I would certainly consider option C.

Don't be so quick to indebt your paid off townhome until your learn creative financing and review all your options.

@Michael Klinger  As others posted, SoFi and Discover personal loans are good options and I've used them in the past.  2-3 business days from application to funds in my checking account. 

While I’ve considered cash-out refinancing or HELOCs, the high rates make these options less appealing.I’m debating between using cash to acquire more SFRs or diversifying into mixed-use retail properties.

Given your goals, Indy could be a great fit—affordable pricing, solid appreciation, and strong Section 8 demand with reliable property management options.
