Most cases Helocs have higher interest rates and shorter terms so the payment is higher and the guide lines are tough.thank you for the advice.

Presumably there are far more investors with a capital need than lenders with capital to deploy, so I'm aiming to understand how best to identify and connect with these investors / deals.Thanks in advance for your advice!

If you really need someone to walk you through it then maybe find a private coach who works directly with you and tailors their advice to your situation. 

Also, no offense Account Closed but nobody should be taking advice from someone who charges for services who doesn't disclose their full name/identity on these forums. 

I would like to add some extra advice.

I’m seeking advice on how to professionally part ways with a long time tenant of mine.

Not financial advice. 

All of the advice given by previous commenters is good but if you are brand new and are paralyzed by overwhelming information and having trouble getting forward momentum, this could be a great fit for you.

Hi @Lily Ochoa - I'm a real estate broker and investor in NYC, I'm familiar with co-op transactions as well and can give some advice. 

Thanks all for the advice!
