I’m sure there are several ways

So you won't go to the bank once a month for several thousand dollars???

I was a senior in college studying business management, evaluating my personal financial situation, and determined to be a wise steward of my first paycheck after I graduated, knowing I’d be climbing my way out of about $20,000 of student debt and several grand in auto loans.WhIle searchIng for somethIng productIve to lIsten to on a jog I found the bIggerpockets podcast.Ive learned more from BP than I ever dId In college.Despite math, my wife and I made the personal choice that we’d pay off our student and car loans before we got started.Fast forward three years later we paid everything off and saved $20,000.

@Randall Degges I've bought several properties in Indy.

My suggestion would be to discuss your plans with a lender before you choose to refi, a good lender will give you several options for financing a project based on your assets and goals. 

In my opinion, getting these right is the primary concern.There are several ways you could structure the finances and profit split between you and your partners, and you'd probably want to consult an attorney (on the structure and terms) and CPA (on the tax implications).

@Martin Zavala There are several companies that will allow you to place up to 10-15 properties on a single policy.

I own several properties in Texas where I get a 3% discount for paying by October 31st.  1% per month is not a bad return on investment

@Anthony MikolichThere are several banks that do HELOCs on Investment Properties.The one that I know is East West Bank: East West BankI understand there are a lot of suggestions to do a refi, but there are two problems with that:1) That's not what the OP asked and 2) There are REAL reasons why to use a HELOC... which is why it's a Loan Product that is available.HELOCs give you another choice to use money temporarily and is better than HARD Money.I will wind up getting huge discounts on properties with an All Cash Offer.The discount I get can be upwards of $100k on a $1.5 Million property.BELIEVE ME.... it is worth it.

I have been self managing my own rental properties for the past several years and have become quite adept at it.
