    The transformation looks amazing @Mindy Nicol!

    If you haven't already, let me know if you want to look at any cash-out refi options for your short-term rental. There are a lot of good DSCR and investor cash-out refi options out there!

    Hi @Jaren Woeppel! No I'm keeping it in cash and avoiding debt right now, but thank you! I just paid off another DSCR so pleased to be in this position.

     Can't beat the cash flow from a paid-off rental!
