Quote from @Jimmy Rojas: I live in Arizona and homes here are sky high, youd be lucky to get %6 interest rate, I would be a 1st time home buyer, apart from being 1099 employed would Trumps real estate plans benefit the little guys like me? 

So have another mortgage here. 

Here are the key details of my situation:Rental Property Details (Note: This was our primary home till 2017):Current Value: $970,000 to $1MPrimary Mortgage Loan Balance: $505,000 (@ 2.6%)Took Home Equity Loan on this house to make down payment for my current primary residence.Home Equity Loan Balance: $123,000Total Loan Balance: $628K (Primary Mortgage + Home Equity Loan)Rental Status: OccupiedPrimary Residence:Purchased in 2022Mortgage Rate: 7.3%Current Loan Balance: $650KMy goal for 2025 is 2 fold: #1.

you said "rent covers mortgage." you need it to be significantly higher than the mortgage to cover all the expenses you are going to incur.hope this helps...

With a low 4.75% rate but minimal cash flow ($50–$125/month), your equity could likely work harder elsewhere.

Last thought (mainly for future readers), you may be talking about the 1 year FHA history if you have variable income.

and 5 years is a long window for things to change in ways we don't expect (lower interest rates maybe??).

While they generally have higher market Cap Rates than Class A properties, it is still variable whether they will have good cash flow or be an appreciation play.Class C Property:Continuing down the scale, Class C properties are generally 20 to 30 years old, and pull in blue-collar and moderate-to-lower income tenants who will generally be renters for life.

What is the interest rate on the HELOC?

As another poster mentioned rates are lower than they've been in the previous 18+ months but unless some very surprising economic data comes out between now and when you did your refi it seems unlikely that rates are going up in the short term and there is at least a decent chance that rates drop a little more before then.
