You could also complete a full 1031 exchange and then refi to take cash out (You would not want to refi the existing property if you anticipate selling it and doing a 1031 in the next few months).  

I'm in need of an Investor Friendly contractor for my flip in Brenham, TXMy project is taking much longer then anticipated.

*Disclosure... i have this posted twice... once in the local communities and now here - so if you've already seen this post - sorry!My family might be in a situation in the next 9 months where we'll be moving from WA ...

Now I'm just trying to figure out the interaction of owning and operating an investment firm and working for a Broker.

In the past as a tenant, I've always considered landlord interactions awkward so now that I am on the other side, I avoid those "extra" efforts .

These books teach you how to handle situations, how to find solutions based on your value system, set clear boundaries with people and overall understanding people's motivations and why they do what they do (which is extremely helpful in any interactions with people).

When I leave Pensacola in two years, I plan to rent out both homes for the long-term.Looking forward to interacting with you all and continuing my real-estate education with this great network. 

I look forward to interacting with all of you here on BP!

My insight is to run your numbers very carefully, multiply your anticipated annual expenses by 1.5, and don't forget capex.

.)* are there any areas in Tampa where growth is anticipated?
