I've been investing in some mixed use in very small towns for past 5-10 years. populations of 1000 - 1500, 8000, 16000 etc.

Here are my thoughts about your decision to refinance.Process:Understand your current loan terms.Check your credit score.Compare offers from different lenders.Get your property appraised.Submit your application and go through closing.Considerations:Current interest rates vs. your existing rate.Amount of equity built in one year.Closing costs and fees.Your long-term financial goals.It's a complex decision, so consulting a financial advisor or mortgage specialist might be helpful.

I'm normally not one that advocates trigger-happy decisions, but IMO this kind of investing needs solid boots on the ground, and you're out of town.
