I used Roofstock to sell one of my rental properties in TX as their sales commission is lower than going through traditional sales channels. 

Interest rates between a HEL and a refi are comparable, the equity in the property is equal to the value of the property and I only need about 50% to purchase another property.

If you do something that is too high end or bold compared to what is available in the neighborhood, the exit could be very difficult 

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

But I have some serious love for the more traditional stuff too. 

They will do things like compare with public records/Internet records.

You will quickly see how you compare in all those categories.

It seems a traditional sale gobbles up half of it in closing costs.We refinanced early last year, and another refi would cost ~$5k, plus w/ the LTV, I don't think the numbers work out just right.Too bad we were too naive to even consider those offers when they were handed to us.

I'd be happy to get you some rough terms to compare to other options that you have, but I also agree with Jay that you should be wary of just selling and loosing that equity that you've built up in the property.

Purchase Terms: Clearly outline the terms for your brother to purchase the property from you, including the timeline and price.To minimize the financial burden on your HELOC, refinance the property into a traditional mortgage as soon as possible.
