I'm bleeding cash each month and in debt due to this and being unemployed for a short spell a year ago.I own my primary residence with about $40k equity, but my DTI ratio wont allow me to pull the cash out.My DTI ratio is high due to the negative cash flow and mortgage on primary residence, not the unsecured debt.Fico is about 750 and I have a job near six figures.I recently came into $160k and want to invest in rentals.You may be thinking 'This guy is nuts.

Thanks @Bill Gulley, proceeds will be used to invest in Investment Property, still under construction, wont be complete for another 5 years (god help us, taking a big leap of faith here:-).

You laugh, but on my primary residence, i am currently suffering from a "dong" problem.

The heater could be located inside where thieves wont have access.
