Well without knowing what your goals are and your overall financial picture, I couldn't answer per se for you. But I can tell you that I invest for cash flow, with an eye towards retiring and living off said proceeds.

I've always been a big fan of leverage. It can help accelerate your ability to create cash flow. As long as your existing 4 plex will still cash flow after you refi, I don't personally see a problem with it.

Hi Lawrence! Well I'll be relocating to Houston in the next few months in the Cypress/Harris County area. Been a buy & hold SFH investor since 2000, but looking forward to transitioning into multis. Good luck and let us know if we can be of help here.

Incredible case study, David. So appreciate your transparency and the wealth of information you shared here.

Can you institute a RUBS program there perhaps, especially as you transition leases? I think it's great you don't have to pay for the manager's apartment either, since I think your PM is charging you a premium due to the apparent lack of options for management in this unit size.

Two things that really stuck out to me, though, were how you didn't let the commercial broker intimidate you. I'm always amused when brokers use laughter as a negotiating tool - not very effective. And playing the banks against each other - I think a lot of us newbies with no multi experience think we have to take what we're given, and you proved with a little tenacity, that's not true.

Again, great job!
