The cash out refinance is going to offer a longer term (30 years) and usually a lower payment. 

@Elenis Camargo Just wanted to let you know that I spoke with Pentegon Federal Credit Union this morning and although they used to offer HELOCs for investment properties, I was informed that they do not anymore. 

The most lucrative option Ohio Cashflow offered me was to use their real estate agent.

Demiss, I'm not from your area so I can't offer any precise insight there but I do have a few pieces of advice that I've learned on the house hacking forums. 1.

You probably need 10% for a down payment plus closing costs which could be another $10-20k.You can put in an offer contingent on selling your own property. 

It's great to offer the service.

I am very interested in meeting/conversing with some like minded folks who may be able to offer some advice on where to get started on this journey!!

I'm going with 2 sentences...Tax benefits are secondary to the value of the investment...The large percentage of wealth held in retirement accounts is particularly notable given the tax advantages these vehicles offer.

Many people like Real Estate Investing because of its potential to spit out cash flow on a consistent basis and the McDonald strategy has been super successful because of the super successful products (food) that the company offers. 

Call your banks and ask them if they offer any options and try to work with them.Another option is to sell one of your property, consolidate and move on...
