If you refinance within five years from your closing date, they will waive all lender fees on the refi.

Chris,For non owner occ loans in CA or commercial loans if you wish to pool investors one way to do it is through a CA RE Broker who can legally fractionlize a single property into 10 or less co lenders as to thier % interest in said loan. 

I'm looking at what options I have to pull equity out of other rental properties I have.Does anyone know of investor-friendly lenders that service the San Antonio / South Texas area and will allow home equity loans or HELOCs on rental properties?

I would talk to different lenders and maybe you can convince the seller to do seller financing that would be great!

I suggest using BiggerPockets' "Find a Lender" tool to find a reputable hard money lender. 

Alternative lenders will be a few points higher.

@Jay DeckerThe great thing is that you live within Washington State which does not have a state income tax.You may be required to file a non-resident return with Ohio and Iowa.

Again I know nothing about PA, but if the sale is public I would think you might see 500 people at the Philadelphia sale. 

Feel free to PM me and I will add you to our team's deal mailing list and can provide referrals for lenders, contractors, etc.

It's simple IMO, if your income covers all your expenses, and you have enough left over to save and invest, you are good to go.As long as your non W-2 income streams are coming in fast enough to replenish your accounts.
