Here’s how I’d approach it:For the 9.5% Loan: Refinancing into a DSCR loan makes sense to lock in a lower fixed rate, especially if your goal is stability and better cash flow.For the 7.25% Loan: If the local bank's investment HELOC offers a competitive rate, consider it for flexibility.

Quote from @Lee Banks: Hi my name is Lee I'm looking too buy my first rental property and but I feel as if I need a mentor to watch, I still need to learn the basics of real-estate does anyone in New York do programs or mentorships and where would you start if you first started real-estate today  Hello Lee,I'd recommend looking up local meetups here on BP, meetup.com and, eventbrite.You can also call around to speak with RE investors and professionals in your target market to begin making connections.With so much available information online, I'd recommend speaking to a few people and doing independent research before committing to mentorships.

Hi, I’m Drew, the owner of your local PMI franchise, PMI Two Rivers, here in Nashville.

However, I am also considering duplex and tri-/quad-plex assets if they pencil.Additionally, I currently work for a locally-based commercial developer/lender on multifamily, land, and some hospitality projects.

Can you do this where you are or do you need to look out of your local area? 

Alternatively, google the local real estate investment groups.

I am a very active realtor in both the Kansas and Missouri side of the CASEY metro, and I frequently work with local and out-of-state investors, helping folks find small multi as well as STR compatible homes.

I did attend a local BP meet up for a while.

The property was listed in the MLS by a local agent who was also the owner.

If I sell, I will rent locally, my expenses will go up from my current $2200 mortgage, to $3000-$3500 rent.
