As far as tapping into your equity, HELOC is a very popular option, just make sure you work with a lender that hasn't historically been known for randomly reducing or closing the line of credit.

However, I am not able to find such deals through popular real estate sites (Zillow) or my brokers.

Renometer and BP insights are great tools but if your looking for something quick and dirty, and free, I Ike to use the HUD Fair market rent numbers.This is published data by HUD to help section 8 and other voucher programs determine the maximum allowable rent for given markets across the country by bedroom count (1-4 beds).

@Scott S.Hey Scott- I would first recommend checking out XY Planning Network, they have a great filter tool where you can identify Fee-Only CFPs that specialize in working with real estate investors and those wanting to invest in real estate.

In many markets across the country, including Denver, the short-term rental (STR) strategy for investors is gaining popularity due to the huge cash flow it can generate.

(And keep in mind, it's 6 months from close to close, and the refi is likely to take 45-60 days, so you can really start the application closer to 4 months out even if seasoning is required).A conventional cash out refi is one of the most common and popular loan products out there and you can't turn on the radio without hearing an advertisement for a refi.

Real estate is a low-risk and popular investment option.

Omaha is a popular market for out of state investors.

You’ll find plenty of friendly, knowledgeable people willing to respond to your posts.The site has quite a few tools that can be helpful for new members.

Cash-out refinances are amazing tools, but you do need to time them right.I think the optimum setup for you is to have maybe one house with a HELOC on it.
