@Russell Brazil Or in markets that are traditionally vacation destinations.

@Josh Chamois Hmmm, I think the BEST place to find good lenders is from other real estate investors in your market. 

The outcome will be a great new modern flip in the hot hot market of Pottstown.

Typically you want the debt with the property and putting that debt on your primary is generally a no-no unless its short term.If I were you I'd pull out 70% equity from the rental property, go find another house under market value to fix up and force appreciation. 

California is an expensive market.

I wouldn't be selling in this market personally, so if you don't sell the SFR and you really want to do this, a DSCR cash out refinance on the triplex, or a hard money 2nd is your only option to get the liquidity needed to make this move.

Are there a couple markets?

Not sure what to do anymore. move to a better market 

You have to make sure you check the market your property is.

I also love the challenge of pitting my skills against the market and of negotiating the puzzle of a successful investment.
