For long-term strategies, a cash-out refinance is usually more advantageous, as it preserves ownership and offers fixed terms.To proceed, start with a professional appraisal to confirm the home’s value, compare refinance terms with traditional lenders, and carefully scrutinize shared-equity program terms to ensure they align with your financial goals.

I am just being more careful on the price because I know it will take five months so I want it to be worthwhile if I am going to do something like that.

They just simply can't care as much as owner wants. 

There are literally thousands of discussions on this topic if you care to research them.

They look for tenants, take care of the house, etc., If there are any issues with tenants or house needs maintenance, Doorvest reaches out to us by email and Doorvest also has online platform where we can keep track of all the statuses + income/expenses.

@Zach WainWe also need to be careful what we wish for.

To be fair, I'm not saying the Midwest is a bad market but you have to be really careful where and what you buy.
