Purchase price: $330,000 Cash invested: $360,000 A cash (silent) partner and I are buying this duplex, flipping it to an ARV of $460,000 then doing a cash out refi or selling it for a profit.

What’s your primary goal for the cash-out refinance?

I have always feared debt but I'm finding myself high on equity and low on cash flow.

No I'm keeping it in cash and avoiding debt right now, but thank you! 

I look at cash flow, purchase price and prospects of appreciation.

I know the tax hit isn’t ideal, but I’m wondering if the long-term cash flow benefits outweigh the opportunity cost.

And because you can put so much less money down, your Cash on Cash Return is even higher.

Granted once I rent out the unit I leave, after vacancy and everything we would cash flow almost 400(minus heloc as well)All the deals I find.

I have been considering asking to buy the single family in cash to separate the deal but would like that amount to be subtracted from the purchase price while keeping the cash I would spend on the down payment the same to include the single family that way the seller gets the same amount of cash upfront.

I’m in Ohio, so I can purchase a property with $40k cash out, invest $10k in repairs, and rent for a couple hundred above the monthly operating costs.
