We are in the Stock market, but those funds are for 15 years and out.We just ordered 200 new locks.

Title doesn’t fund until docs recordedYou just gave an unsecured loan.

These can be further broken down into lender closing costs and third party closing costs.Thelender closing costs can include underwriting fee, processing fee, funding fee, origination fee, credit report fee, and tax service fee among others.

Just bear in mind that trips to Maui involve 'discretionary' funds...A few more things to think about during your due diligence. 1.

Based on what I read here you are likely to have a better life and better ROI by investing in an S&P500 index fund.

In the case of a successful tort against you, you might regret commingling funds in a single bank account, but I can't see how keeping them consistently separated would ever burn you, even if it is a bit less convenient.  

I would like to use the home as collateral toward funding on a investment property.

After it's rehabbed, you could then rent both units and use the cash flow to offset another primary residence or potentially refi and use those funds to scale your portfolio.I wish this policy change was being talked about more because it unlocks a creative new strategy for investors in MA, since you do not need to owner occupy to do it! 

If you can leave the property alone and use your funds I would. 

Quote from @Bruce Schussler: A lot of Podcasts and Youtuber's say to cash-out refinance to keep rents balanced with payment; (PITI) then use those funds strategically to re-invest either in more real estate or just put into a high interest bearing account or money market account...Here's some of my thoughts and comparisons;Cash-out refinance with new loan so rents balance with payment:- The cash-out refinance is 100% tax free- The funds can be put into a money-market account off-setting a portion of the interest charge of loan- The loan balance gets eventually destroyed by inflation- The liquid cash eventually gets destroyed by inflation - The interest on the new loan can be deducted from the rent income- The refinance costs are 3-4% of the total- There is less equity in the property and LLC that can be attached in case of a lawsuit- The break-even on cash-out refinance with current interest costs on the new loan is around 12 years Vs.Paid-off property with positive cash flow:- The positive rent income is 100% taxable minus only depreciation and property tax- There is more equity in the property and LLC that can be attached with a lawsuit- The break even is not until after 12 years at today's interest rates- There is a rate risk in today's inflationary environment where interest rates on bonds keep rising*It appears to me that the cash-out refi is in the best interest for a property investor; (Dave Ramsey would strongly disagree!)
