It is a complimentary strategy to pull some of your money back out and hedge your bet.

"Before borrowing money from a friend, decide which you need most".

If you’re not in a rush to tap your equity, holding off until rates come down could save you money in the long run.

We rarely have issues, but it seems like such a small investment in time and money to take one day to verify. 

I left them recently like many others have in the last 5 months and even though our money was technically an investment and a limited partner contribution, they refused to give anyone their money back even after stating numerous times they would give people their money back if they choose to leave. 

You'd be surprised to learn that someone living in a rental or apartment, that has a family and is a successful small businessman, has the money and is willing to take that deal.

Unless you are using your own money, then you shouldn't have a problem, however, if you are enlisting an investor or a lending company, and there are plenty to choose from, don't go with the ones who do the lowest interest.
