A few strategies that work in high cost of living markets 1) Layout changes - I have converted 1 bedrooms to 2bedrooms, studios to 1 bedrooms and simply by doing that I increase the rents significantly and now the property can be cash out refinanced. 2) Adding ADU's, preferably attached ADU's (basements, garage etc)3) Cash for keys + Renovations - washer dryer in units, and upgrade unit (combine this with other 2 strategies, above and you've doubled your equity)
