I did a tenant screen check (cozy.com) on all 3 individuals that will be living in the property and everything checks out and they make a combined $5500 a month, they currently study and work.I’m not too crazy and the flip because there isn’t much equity to be made over spent on the rehab i think so I’m left with about 15-20k if it sells with the current price listed but doing a BRRRR may make more sense in this situation.

Some of the "nothing-down" proponents used to , and may still, suggest that you give a seller the choice of several different scenarios for the purchase of their property.For example you could offer full payment in cash, a larger payment with owner financing, a lease option, or any other combination of concessions and rewards to entice the owner to sign.Thing is, I do not know how well this would work for you. 

Could I combine a home equity loan with other loan types for higher leverage? 

My partner and I make about 100k in combined income.

Get some postcard/business card combination and hand write a note to the owner asking if there is an opportunity to buy his property located at (address).

You could sell the rental houses and take out an equity line on your personal residence then use the combined proceeds to flip or develop properties.

This is a strategy many of my investors use, and it combines the house hacking strategy with the power of BRRR investing.

We both have credit scores above 740 and make a combined income of $230k.

Over time you could even combine the 2-3 properties and pay with ONE mortgage note with a Non-QM portfolio loan if you like or keep them all separate.
