Another great option is the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat), where you buy a fixer-upper, renovate it, rent it out, and refinance to pull your cash back for the next deal, and this is a good route because most private lenders can go higher LTV than on a rental loan! 

Happy to chat through some options.

@Kwanza Price - Syndications are a great options and even some QOZs. 

They likely will be a bid on the 2 year balloon options, too, in 2025. 

It's possible to buy property in Germany with as little as 5-10% down, making it an attractive option for service members and civilian government employees stationed there or planning to settle.

I’m not sure what is the best option here, if anyone could shed some wisdom that would be immensely appreciated. 

@Cole Starin sometimes it makes sense to sell the WORST property in your portfolio.Another option is why do a LOC on the duplex, when you could just do a $100k cashout refi to pay off all your debt AND keep the property?

They have lots of options for you, depending on your budget.

I recommend that you find a trusted or recommended Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO), who can give you options for property-based loans (mostly investment loans) and they don't use your taxes but the P&L of the property.

I also worked with a great lender who helped navigate financing options, including my HELOC, to make the deal happen.
