There is a solution:  1 - You have to get a HELOC on all of them first.  2 - Take cash from the HELOCS, combine them together, and buy another property where the refi loan would be higher than the minimum 50k.3 - Take part of the "cash out" from the refi and pay down your HELOCS.  4 - Take the cash out from the refi to buy your next property.5 - Repeat steps above until you:        a - Pay off HELOCS in pieces        b - Get tired of using the same "cash" (from the continued refis) to buy cash flow Keep in mind that your choices of properties must allow all of them to continue to have positive CF...or choose a different property.

Ultimately, I think you'll find it very difficult to wholesale listed properties though.
