Increase value and maybe hold or refi out.

Here are my current options (beware, some of these may not make sense – this is my first time so I don’t know the difference between smart/stupid moves yet):A) Get property appraised and get a HELOC to use as a down payment for a property with FHA loan (2-4 Unit)B) Hope home value increases and sell when the equity >= a down payment on a 2-4 unitC) Remodel property and sell when the equity >= a down payment on a 2-4 unitD) Remodel property, Get property appraised and get a HELOC to use as a down payment for a property with FHA loan (2-4 Unit)E) Save money and wait until market rent >= cashflow, use HELOC/saved money as down payment for 2-4 unitI’m thinking option E is the wisest move but I want some other opinions to see if there's a faster way – any insight is helpful since I’m just learning.
