I made this deal 5 years ago. How bad did I do?

Hello Biggerpockets,

    I purchased a single family home 5 years ago for $80K. I financed it on a 30 year fixed rate loan. The rate was 5% and was financed as a owner occupied home. My monthly payment at first was $630, then jumped to $700, and finally settled at $740 before I refinanced it 2 months ago on a 15 year loan as a rental property (no longer owner occupied since I was worried about mortgage fraud) with a rate of 3.625%. My monthly payment right now is $794. The house currently appraises for about $150K. I've been renting the place out for $950 so it's paying for itself and leaving me a little extra as pocket change. I didn't pull any cash out when I refinanced and I kind of regret it because I want to invest in another property. So how did I do on my first deal? All criticism is not only welcome, it's actually encouraged.
