Wanted to introduce myself.

In order to help finance the care, we are currently renting house and foresee needing to draw equity from it in the future. 

Mentioning unique perks like 'Game Room,' 'Lake View,' or 'Pet-Friendly' can really draw people in.

Or explore a 40B lottery condo purchase and look into house-hacking.

@Dani Murai, while I can't give you a name of anyone in your area (I am not from there), when you are interviewing contractors, here are a couple things I have seen:I avoid any contractor that has a draw schedule based on percentages, i.e. 1/3 up front, 1/3 at halfway completed and 1/3 at completion.  

Looking for any guidance on any equity based lenders out there?

Another draw back is short term your expenses will be higher because you are paying the mortgage plus paying back the loan but that is a short term draw back until the loan is paid back.How it works: I have experience with my wife's company and mine, each is a little different. 

Holy cow, don't you have a contract that specifies when and how much draws are to be submitted and paid? 

It's good practice in making the calculations needed to decide whether or not to pull the trigger on a potential deal.You soon learn that starting off as a Doctor is less advantageous than starting off as a Janitor, because the game presets your income and expenses based on the job title.

So it became a long-term action of repeating that cycle to achieve decent LT tenancy base.
