No equity is accumulated in the first 5 years of a mortgage due to the amortization process. Typically you would have at least 20% equity, immediately, because of the 20% down payment. For a $1.7 million loan, that's $340K, which I would assume he got by selling his previous home. He, most likely, purchased the land outright, first, and then used the land value as collateral for the construction loan.
So he would have had $300k-$350K in equity, which is why he was able to receive a $300k HELOC, but by taking out the HELOC he now has no significant equity in the property at all.
Not to mention real estate agents don't work for free. At 6% we're looking at $120K to the REA.
Jer has to sell the property for AT LEAST $2Million. Anything less than that means foreclosure and bankruptcy. Forget about making enough profit to buy another house outright, he'll be lucky to have enough for a 20% down payment on another property. If he can see that he can not continue making his mortgage payments, his best course of action would be to liquidate everything he can, find a way to raise enough for a down payment on a cheaper house before foreclosure tanks his credit score, and walk away from this property and make it the banks problem.
