Anyone's expertise in this would be appreciated.

I know a lot of what you look for depends on your strategy and business model, but I would suggest try looking outside your area as well to open up your options.

What exactaly is your area of expertise?

I am working hard to enhance my knowledge of discounted cash flow modeling for portfolios/complex capital stacks in ARGUS, CMBS securitization, syndication and commercial construction/development.   

To them, it is the exact same business model and is subject to Self Employment Taxes as well as Income Taxes.  

Doing a "Goal Seek" operation in Excel can get you to a price that makes sense for your business model.

Personally, I built mine to my requirements and to fit our syndication model (everyone has their own little flavor with their own assumptions and models).

Thanks Steve,You know BECU will pay for your appraisal (if automated value model (AVM) doesnt generate a value on BECU's end) so you have no cost of originating the HELOC on this additional equity unlike your current source of financing above (30-50% cost based on the amount extended).The rate will be around 4.50- 5.74% at the lowest on the HELOC depending on your LTV.

I am looking for expertise, even if I have to finance my deal myself

A professional manager (and they are exceedingly hard to find) will save you far more than you ever pay them in savings that you never see due to their knowledge and expertise and I realize that's hard to quantify but nevertheless it's there.
