If you have a mortgage balance of 50k on that house, your equity is reduced to 50% (50k)So when you hear someone say "I can get a home equity loan for 80% LTV (loan to value) that means a bank is willing to let them borrow, in total, up to 80% of the value of the house.

I am currently focusing my time and energy learning more about buy and hold properties (including leasing options) and mobile home parks options, both in my area and all over the United States.

What I would do...1) Sellout.2) Purchase a triplex using the lowest amount down possible to a) secure a place to live for yourself, hopefully eliminating or drastically reducing your living expenses and b) conserve your remaining capital3) Invest in cash flow opportunities out of city/out of state.  

I'll definitely need my Peet's Italian Roast to keep up the flow of energy!

I'll admit my risk tolerance may be higher than others, but I am looking to grow my portfolio of properties as quickly as possible while interest rates are still low and deals are still plentiful.As Hattie mentioned, a HELOC may be an option to tap into the additional equity and reduce/avoid closing costs.

I bought my duplex a few years (and still live there with my three high energy dogs) and have accumulated half a dozen units with my family aside from that. 

With crowd funding, each investor is small and therefore this reduces the over the should factor you might get with a larger investor or HML.On the downside to crowd funding, it is a lot of work to do it right. 

That will free up time and energy to focus on the latter.

Hello Bigger Pockets Real Estate I need advice how to discharge property from (AEP)And if the price of charge from HPD is very high can I somehow reduce her?

I think I have it all figured out, as I have found that she reduced my usable sq/ft by 500 to account for my common areas, but did not do this for the comps, thereby producing an inaccurate price per sq/ft.
