With the amount of HELOC funds you have available, I would recommend using this resource to fund the next deal.

. $500 ea. in profit after loan pmt , taxes & Insurance and a small amount for maintenance fund are taken out.  

Purchased at $220,000.Sold               $345,000First Mort      $163,000HELOC             $47,000Selling Cost     $15,0000Net Proceed  $120,000  (50/50 split )Each has $60k in separate 1031 exchange fund.

In Texas according to my attorney it would be a deduction and not a mishandling of deposit funds which is taken very seriously in Texas and most states. 

I would like to own this building outright some day, but the immediate priority is I have multiple homes under construction and need the funds to pay for my share of the new builds (have investor/partner on these new builds).  

Walk away.In order for the lender to obtain the necessary capital to fund that loan, it has to pass an initial environmental survey. 

If they are paid off sell them and use the funds to some how forward you into real estate.

Therefore, you have to resort to using other sources of funding.

I would note that some of them have penalties if you close them in a certain number of years - I took out one that had a $450 penalty if I closed it (or sold the property) within 3 years of the start date, even if I had a zero balance or never used the funds. 

When the time is right, you will see the deals you are looking for and have the funds available to make several successful moves.
