Holding on to a property with a really great rate and significant equity built up over just only two years. Converting it to a rental. Am thinking of tapping into the equity to invest into another rental property. With the rates as high as they are today, is it not advisable to cash out refi even if I can make the current monthly payments lower by refi’g from my existing 15-yr to a 30-yr note? Understood that total interest paid is going to be greater but that would be covered by the rental inc

Unless you’re getting an absolutely fantastic deal on the new purchase I would say no. In The new property you’re also getting hosed in rate. So much uncertainty right now.

I have 10 rentals by the way. I have several properties in the same position. I’m waiting. And frankly anything with a rate below 3% I’m going to hold onto for quite a while.

Do any of your properties have an open mortgage? Am setting an LLC up and will deed the property in from my name to LLC but my county assesses the RTF on the open mtg balance. I hear the grantor land trust is the way to get around this.

Agree with, D1. It’s not a buyers market right now unless you need to buy or have the full cash value in hand.

Everybody’s strategy is different. I have a property that’s worth 430K with only 200K debt on it so I’ll be taking out 90K, I was quoted 5.875 for 30 year and 5.99 for 20 year on Friday. I’m currently cash flowing about 11K net but I can’t touch the equity so I have to pull it out. New rates will cashflow $4500 on the 30 year and on the 20 year I’d practically breakeven which I’m okay with as I still have 120K plus equity in the property and it’s new construction. In my eyes there’s a great opportunity out here than letting the money just sit and you have to decide if that’s the case for you

Thanks, that’s good insight. Any good calculators out there you recommend? I agree, I see turn-key homes are hard to get but am finding some opportunities with some properties needing light/medium rehab work.

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.
