You could also do a simultaneous closing of a fixed first mortgage as a ‘cash out’ refinance and piggyback a new investment property heloc for future use..although the heloc rate will be stronger on the primary.

That way all you do is watch other people do the heavy lifting while you cash the big checks.

It sounds like a DSCR cash out refinance would good option for you as you can be in an LLC, no DTIs, and there are no concentration limits when it comes to how many you can do.

I am from North Carolina but manage my current rental arbitrage properties in Medellin, Colombia & Rio de Janeiro Brazil.Now, I am looking to start buying real estate - likely in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina where I am from, but also open to new markets.I stretched myself very thin on my arbitrage business, so my cash is very low. 

This is an essential tool for anyone buying a tenant-occupied property.
