I currently work I  hospitality which gives me a lot of insight in building positive, ongoing customer relationships, and proper negotiating and sales tactics.

My question is how to tap into this positive equity to purchase another investment rental property?

More specifically, how National and global issues affect the housing market positively and negatively.

If there is coverage for all three loans.

In reality, I’ll be able to rent out one of the two units, and I will live in the other unit with a few friends, so I’ll actually be living for free & positively cash flowing, with a good cushion for potential issues/disasters, but I know that’s not how it’ll appear on paper unfortunately. 

A snapshot of my current position is below.

HELOCs aren't like 30YF first position mortgages where you can call 10 different lenders and all are within 0.25% to rate with very similar requirements.... each bank is making up whatever they want for the HELOC in terms of conditions, requirements, rates, etc. 

I have been learning via reading and podcasts for the past few years and am willing to step out and take action.

Just be frank about your situation and assure them you won’t do anything to jeopardize their position with the seller at all.
