Have you lived in the house for any of those 5 years?

The house is 107 years old and had a pretty lackluster renovation completed on it, so I knew there were going to be some issues, but also some things I know I can solve with my property maintenance background. 

@Anthony Prilo   What is the interest rate on your current loan? 

Who has the best rates on DSCR Purchase or rate and term refi (without charging crazy origination - preferably 2 points or less)?

It was a fairly nice house, somewhat dated but in good condition. 

Rents aren't always amazing, prices, interest rates, etc. 

I currently live in Silicon Valley but house prices aren't feasible for me here.

With the economy and market as they are, should I continue aggressively paying down the HELOC to potentially borrow against again or should I just pay the Interest Only (IO) payments and seek other funding at the current day higher interest rates?

If I could do this all over again, I would probably go for a smaller house.
