If it's an SFR you could technically get a HomeStyle reno loan on it, but that would be a lot of closing costs and other nonsense just for an extra $5k.I'd suggest credit cards or other unsecured borrowed funds -- get it done quick and sell it quick to pay it off. 2nd best might be some sort of equity deal with another investor who has $5k to invest. 

And I presume it will get to 5 pretty quick unless you have great credit depending on area. 

I have a principle of 9K left on my car which I plan on using the extra savings to quickly pay it off so I can have an extra 350 to save and invest.

Quick background I co-own/manage 192 multi family units. 

LA is gentrifying quickly and people are getting pushed out further twoards palmdale, lancaster, san bernardino, or out of state.  

I work construction gigs as a carpenter and rehabbed my entire house down to the bare bones so I know all about that.I just bought "Housebuilding" A Do-It-Yourself Guide by R.J.

The scale climbs quickly but levels off quickly,  and falls quickly, such that (hypothetically):$1 rent = 100% demand, $50 rent = 100% demand, $100 rent = 100% demand, $250 rent = 97% demand, $500 rent = 80% demand, $750 rent = 60% demand, $1000 rent = 30% demand, $1250 rent = 10% demand, $1500 rent = 2% demand, >$1500 rent = <1% demand.
