ABOUT ME:  I am a 40 year old new investor from New Orleans, LA and I currently reside in the South Bay area of California, about 30 minutes southeast of LAX and south of downtown Los Angeles, and about 15 minutes west of Long Beach, CA. 

However, when I got the HELOC it was my primary residence and now that it's not and it's a rental, my current bank won't touch it.

Good Morning Jeff, I currently reside in Milledgeville and relocated here from the Indianapolis area due to family. 

You provided 3 good solutions to your problem.

It might be best to market the land  locally to investors/residents who may see a best use for it.

If that's the case than I would consider a few things.1) If you want to buy something "turn key" don't worry too much about the numbers...first and foremost it's your primary residence.

I own a rental home (old primary residence) in Illinois, but I now live in Florida.

I used a HELOC from my primary residence to fund it and deal #3.

I think of febreeze of being more of a temporary solution (I could be wrong).

Coupled with rapid population growth, it’s driving an affordability crisis that leaves many residents looking for homes far from job centers and essential services."
