@Colleen F - I agree with you on the spending issue but as you say it's another topic.Septic in our town is a nightmare as there is a long and painful approval process (with engineering required) by the Health Dept for all repairs / replacements.

I use Wi-Fi thermostats to save on electricity between guests and have a couple exterior cameras to keep an eye on the place.

what if values go up and you want to cash out re-fi one property? 

Since I want to hold as a rental what's the best way to re-fi this to pull my cash out to buy another deal?

I understand my interest rate might be higher if I re-fi this home, but need that VA loan to get a jumbo loan in San Diego.
