    @Julian Snyder Thank you! I am currently waiting for the appraisal to come back but when we bought the home it appraised for $134k. We are hoping to be in the $145k-$150K range. We are going to wait a year or so to refi or put a HELOC on it due to the price to rent ratio. Once rents in the area increase a little we are going to pull our initial out. It is in a section in Philadelphia with immense development going on, so we decided to be patient.
