It certainly seems that you own a nice property that has appreciated well. You will recapture your appraisal cost in a few months by getting the payment lowered. You may be able to reuse the appraisal should you refinance a short time later. You might check with the lender on this.
When you say that the property is subdividing, what is triggering that event? When you say you need the money now, do you mean you need the amount from subdividing-- or do you need less? Keep in mind that when you subdivide, you will most likely have another loan for the parcel where your mother is unless you are going to pay off the loan from the proceeds of the subdivision.
You should give us more information with numbers attached. We can probably be of more help.
How many acres do you have and when it is rezoned, how many houses can be built on it.? Also, is the city doing the rezoning on its own or has there been a submission requesting the rezoning your property? You said that you "need the money now". How much do you need now?[ Edited by edmeyer on Date 06/08/2005 ]
Check the lenders tab at the top to speak to a local broker.
There are 100% options out there for someone like you with the credit and income.
Yes, you can get a line of credit on something that has a 1st and second, I have one right now. The first place to go is the place you have the 1st and 2nd with.

Thank you Ray. Can I clarify one thing? You said to contact my lender for the first and second. Would that be to ask about a line of credit or for additional financing for the investment property as well?
To add a bit to what Ray said, I have found that going to people with a great deal of experience in using a particular class of document reveals a very good document that they have evolved over time. As an example, leases are my most important document. I looked at several leases used by property management companies and blended the best features into my own.
Adding to Ray and Ed...
Agree w/ focus, focus, focus. Agree, reliable team.
Agree w/ easy to get others forms and adapt them.
= My lease started out as one right off of shelf office depot. Worked fine as long as I canvased my tenants well and communicated expectations well. Then I got several realtor or management leases and built my own in my computer. Easy enough!
IF you cannot rely on a good manager in Ca. I would look for potential appreciation or lack thereof, ease of pulling out the equity for your use, potential to find a tenant as a win/win (rental discount in return for repairs, autodeposit, etc). If not doable, just sell and move on to your next focus, rehabs and learning.
Good luck, thank you, and congrats.
Keep It Simple, Silly (Teachable, Repeatable)....and you will love what you DO and DO what you Love and your Soul will Sing.
I am confused. Do you want to be a rehabber, a real estate agent, a mortgage broker, a landlord, or a lawyer? One day you will have to stop taking all the courses and do something.
I do not mean to be harsh but I do not understand your logical for all the course work if you have decided that rehabbing will be your niche. Start rehabbing.

Depends on who you got it through, but why not both? You might try the line of credit first though.

Agreed - you can simply refinance your 2nd mortgage to a higher amount and take the additional cash/open line after paying off the current 2nd.
