Trying to refi out of a bridge loan on a SFR with tenant
How would you refinance an investment property in Texas?
One of my investment properties in El Paso is a SFH currently renting for $1,100. After my P.M. costs I collect $940 or so/month.
The balance on my bridge loan is $120,000. The last appraisal from September of 2023 was before it had a tenant and came in at $165,000.
My bridge rate is 10% and results in a $1,500/month PITI payment.
The negative cash flow stings but is worth it for the equity. I think there's a path to refinance that would flip me into positive cash flow, but I'm coming up short on ideas.
I really don't have the $23k down payment I'd need for a DSCR, and Texas wont let me HELOC the equity out of my other rentals.
With my $1,100 monthly revenue, my 700 FICO, and my (likely) $55,000 in equity - what kind of options would I have to refi.?

I do not see a path to refinancing and see the better option is to sell the property. Assuming that your taxes and insurance are around $500 and your mortgage was $1,000 per month - even if you got a rate around 7-7.5% and had no money down I do nto see this property cashflowing.
