What sense does it make to only put 2 or 5 properties in each LLC if some have tens of thousands of dollars in equity and others have hundreds of thousands.

Must pay back in equal payments or all at once (typically).

Yes you are getting $700 a month cash-flow, which is awesome, but you also have $110,000 in equity that is making you no money at all.

. $100,000 in equity at a return rate of 3.375% is $281 per month.

My truck was paid off so I pulled 4k out in equity and paid it back in a 6 month loan. 

Everyone gets their $1000 back but also $2000 more in equity for the next project.

I work in syndicated real estate and have placed many clients into Delaware Statutory Trusts in that market in 2015, but I also removed one property from our approved list of DSTs at the time and pulled $2M in equity into other investments after I visited it (which virtually no one in my industry does).

Meaning if you only have access to $20,000 in equity, I wouldn't spend the $1500-2000 on a re-fi to access it, instead I would do the line of credit at considerably cheaper.

My property has increased in market value since my purchase, so I'd like to take the equity out of the house to reinvest in my next property, but I want to make sure it makes sense...given that I'd be paying the same interest rate, or maybe even a little bit higher interest rate.Original Purchase value: $225,000 Original investment: $30,000Current Market Value: Around $260-265kCurrent Mortgage: $184,000, 3.875%, 26-years remaining, P&I = $928Current Cash Flow on rental: $500/monthMy question is, should I refinance to roll 20-25k in equity out?

I'd say make sure you're going to be able to make your 5% back (5% because that's the difference between HM and a traditional loan) either in equity or within the first year of holding the property.
