What (creative) ways are folks using to come up with their equity injection funds besides pure cash on hand for their completely self-funded search? Here are the paths I've looked at, in no particular order:
1. Selling investments that are sitting at a loss
2. Pledged asset line / margin loan on taxable investments
3. HELOC
4. Retirement accounts (ROBS)
What are your experiences with the options and your view of the pros and cons?

I haven't touched anything around pledged asset lines or margin loans on my investments, trying to keep those separate.
