Is there any way to borrow against my rental's equity with bad credit?
I ran up credit card debt after a bad investment, and my credit is now too damaged to refinance or get a HELOC. My rental is worth about $290k, I owe $105k, and it rents for twice the payment. Is there any loan that would let me tap that equity to clear the debt, or is selling my only real option?
