My pursuit of financial independence exposed me to dozens of FI sites and real estate kept coming up there and from my brother, who's also in the Army. 

Brian, to your point - I agree with you in that there are many other factors to consider when looking to re-fi, including moving from bridge financing to long term debt and securing more favorable terms.

I've had cases where the light will flicker while searching for it's wi-fi, either on initial setup or when the signal drops in quality.

Now I'm not sure that by the time I get the re-fi, it will appraise at that same level. 

I'm also unsure of the implications a conventional loan would have on trying to re-fi for another 6 months down the road?

When you re-fi do it while you are still living in the house so you can get a lower rate, and a longer term i.e. 25-30 years amortization vs. 15 to 20 for an investment property.Hope this helps.

Yes, ideally we would re-fi into something better if it makes sense.
