If you refinance within five years from your closing date, they will waive all lender fees on the refi.

I'm looking at what options I have to pull equity out of other rental properties I have.Does anyone know of investor-friendly lenders that service the San Antonio / South Texas area and will allow home equity loans or HELOCs on rental properties?

it takes years to build credit with an entity. find a portfolio lender that allows you to buy in llc with you as a guarantor. they will stop the guarantor after you get enough leverage in the package.

I would talk to different lenders and maybe you can convince the seller to do seller financing that would be great!

Alternative lenders will be a few points higher.

These guidelines would be lender specific, but generally most DSCR loans will require this. 

First and foremost, are you talking about private debt? 

My CoC return in STL is 10% now that the buildings have stabilized, it seems like the buildings are appreciating at an acceptable rate, and I have a team that I trust there (realtor, PM, contractor, lender). 

I would chat with a conventional lender to verify, as I mainly just do DSCR/hard money.
