Knowing the three cities mentioned is important for grading the neighborhoods and can vary street by street. 

Hey @Marc Shin, personally I like what @Bruce Woodruff said.You could get things ordered that you need plus hit up all those places that Bruce mentioned.

I will look into the options you mentioned and factor in all the informative insights you shared.

Like someone else mentioned, doing a short term rental in a secluded basement that is very private and walled off is one thing, but sharing the same refrigerator, kitchen thermostat, etc. with a complete stranger seems like it will introduce more problems than what the money is actually worth.

As Dan H mentioned it’s the deals I passed on locally that were greater regrets than other state deals.  

you will need to look at the APN of the property and line it up with what you actaully bought. as mentioned the tax assessed value is not an indicator of value. the land could be a utility easement, used for stormwater management etc.

I mentioned its simplified version of "no more than 14 days" only in the context of our specific scenario: buying a new STR in December.

Thanks so much for the mention!

With those numbers the refi is going to be good on the side of having some equity, the challenge like I mentioned is the Apprasier coming in and giving a number that may not support getting all your money out.

I second what everyone else has mentioned...
