A question on refinace?
Good evening my fellow investors,
How are you doing today? We hope you are well. I need your advice. So please help me. I live in the Inland Empire, CA. I have two homes. One is a rental, and the other is used as my primary residence. Both of them have mortgages: Rental one owes about 195K, and the primary is 259K. I would like to know if I could refinance and take out the equity in my rental property and pay off my primary residence. Then I would have only ONE mortgage to pay. Right now the combined mortgages are about 2600 dollars a month. The money that I make from my rental is about 200 dollars per month after all taxes and mortgage are paid. The refinanced amount would be about 460K and I would like to go 30 years fixed loan. What do you think? Is this a good idea? Personal income taxes issue? Thank you very much for your help. I am looking forward to reading your valuable inputs. Joe
