Fix and Flip?

Would it be smart to do a HELOC on some of my rental properties, and just pay for the house that way, fix it up and then refinance it on a 15 or 30-year conventional loan?

I'm looking into different funding for fix and flips in Virginia and DoHardMoney.com keeps coming up. 

Many of which the owner would not fix.

I’m thinking about buying a foreclosure using a private lender in Cali, then refinancing it once it’s all fixed up.

Should I fix and flip instead?

Is there a nice way of saying that I don't want a fixed up one; basically I want a fixer upper

Think about it, if someone offers you a fantastic deal today with a 30 year fixed rate mortgage, are you going to say "This looks amazing, but I will pass because interest rates are going up"?

In this way, they can then rent out the property to satisfy what is owed to them, fix it, sell it or essentially do whatever they like with it.Bear in mind that in this situation, the seller has probably jerked the HOA around sufficiently to the point where they are no longer willing to play ball, negotiate or otherwise help you or the seller out.
