I’d love to get some ideas on how to get equity out of an investment property.  

@Josh Uehara this property tax estimator in Greenville may be helpful:https://www.greenvillecounty.org/appsas400/RealPropertyTaxEs...Before purchasing, I'd confirm the new amount with the assessor directly.

I’d be happy to take a look for you and give you a second opinion to see if what you’re being quoted is actually a good deal or not.

I'd love to know if you can find any houses in Cary, NC.

That's far from a definitive answer because its an owner occupant and a single family, but I would imagine if you e-mail the house/building department they should be able to give you a firm answer.  

I'd like to know a couple things:- What are your investing goals and how far along are you to reaching them?

To get a crash course in tenant screening and local tenant landlord laws I'd recommend going to a local REI meet up. 

I'd be curious to hear what others have seen for rates on a deal like this.

I feel that I'd be more interested in 50/50 backside split than this (if TIC rules allow this).Does anyone have intel on what they have seen in TIC structures for splits or asset management fees etc?

I’d like to hear more on the 2 options for rental property HELOCS.
