Quote from @Erik Estrada:

Hey Jordan, 

A lot of variables here. Is this your primary residence or investment property? 

How much cash out do you need for the downpayment? If this is your primary, have you looked into doing a line of credit instead? 

What are the market rents for this property? Is it a short term or long term rental? 

When you cash out refinance you are paying off your existing lender's balance, and have a higher balance owed with your new lender. Basically hitting reset on your loan term. The payment will be higher because you will owe more, and have a higher rate, (Also depends on if you are dropping MI on your loan as well)

@Erik Estrada Hello and thanks for the quick feedback. Currently in my primary residence and looking at revising my current residence to a long-term rental (6 mon. / 1-year terms), which would break even or slightly less. What would the general synopsis of a LOC look like on top of a mortgage?

Currently own a 2/2 condo @ 5.375 % (WI) with 15K additionally invested (New HVAC / Misc finishes). Looking to move to the greater Denver area but I want to hold my riverside property and would need to sell (or refinance cash out) for a down payment. Current property will do just fine with the limited supply in this city, but do I really want to refinance with higher rates or today’s market? How does the entire process play out if I did refinance (assuming I have larger monthly payments due to higher rates and more owed)?

Hey @Jeremy Nault I just saw a similar unit sell for 20% more then what I purchased just over 2 years ago. Understanding the market may go up a bit this year, but settle shortly after, do I take advantage of this time to sell? I am not sure if renting this out would trump the potential tax free down payment? Looking for any advice possible, thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response @Jeremy Nault! I completely agree with the condo fees and when considering the rent price I understand how that can take away from cash flow. However, as I've heard and understand cash flow isn't a top priority as long as it works for your financial state. I actually joined the board of an association to get an idea of what it consists rules/meetings/discussions (these obviously can vary). This definitely helps assure my starting path, thanks again!

What is everyone's thoughts on Condo's overall? I personally love the downtown culture and moving into a larger condo (once I find one). Only issue is availability and they have offers in hours/days (even with today's rates). The goal is to only purchase condos that allow you to rent (my intent with the first) and continue to acquire more over the years.
