Your strategy could change the best loan options for you.

Once the city gives direction, then start to look at available options and penciling out the numbers to see what makes the most sense.  

If you're looking for the all-in-one I'd go with a PM software (others have suggested some) and do what you can with it.Then, as you grow further, look at more sophisticated/expensive options.

or options 3, 4 and 5 don't supply washer and dryers and either the tenant provides their own, rent appliances or goes to community laundramat.

You pay your agent at closing (think of it as an additional closing cost) Depending of the situation and of these options can be used by you and your agent to negotiate with the seller.

The investor wants me to come up with a few options for how we can partner on a future deal (coliving home in the Cleveland market).

Assuming you go the HELOC route, another option to reduce your costs assuming you have decent credit is to look at credit card balance transfer promotions.Back in 2003-2004 I had HELOCs on my investment properties and interest rates were increasing.

I’m considering doing a cash-out refinance, not sure what the best options is , to use the rental property or the rehab property.

After you’ve found a few options, review them with your agent.

I sure don't want to consider myself an abuser of this forum, and therefore don't see that as a proper solution.Nonetheless I do agree with @Joshua Dorkin that it can disrupt the flow of conversation... but I don't agree that most forums act this way; I've been a member of multiple forums, and most of them have options to delete posts... rather than contacting support or marking your own post as abusive.I digress...
