I had a duplex that is renting for $1775 collectively just get appraised for $27k (which is way under value, but it is what it is, Cleveland appraisals range big time), they took that number and gave me 80% so a $21,600 HELOC.

There are lots of resources on this site and meetups that are local to you.
