Best way to pull equity out for first investment property

Bryan Plumb
Posted

Our situation:

End goal is to have a single family home in Maui in a few years...

We have roughly 257k equity (conservative estimate) in our single family home after about 7 months of ownership (thanks to locking in our purchase price a year before we closed).

My current primary residence mortgage is a 10/1 ARM at 2.75%

The house payment is easily covered by only one of our incomes (I'm married) and I've recently got a pay increase that is more than our current monthly mortgage.

My desire is to buy an investment condo in Maui, and rent it out at about break even.... to either move into when we move to Maui or to sell our current primary residence and the condo for a single family home in Maui.

I need roughly 140-150k for condo downpayment and have about 30k currently.

Would the best move be to do a cash out refinance to get the rest of the needed funds?
