and are you looking to walk away with cash or simply refinance (meaning paying off) what you owe? 

Quote from @Isadore Nelson: Cash-for-keys, unless you're offering heavy sums does not happen in one afternoon. 

This deal doesn't meet the 2% or 50% rule of thumb, but it has positive cash flow and is in a growing market, according to the latest 2024 Top 100 data from BP. 

One month vacancy can eat up all the cash flow.

My concern is doing the cash out refi on my other rental and causing a new and much higher payment on it that I can't just pay off like a loan.

In order to refinance a home you must have six months title seasoning to use a "New appraisal" but keep in mind only certain lenders and programs allow a cash out refinance at the 6th month mark.

If you are in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton market, you used to be able to get duplexes for $50k to $100k and make it cash flow quickly.

There isn't enough cash flow in these deals to pay the mortgage, monthly expenses and the HELOC that I'm trying to leverage against.

Purchase price: $990,000 Cash invested: $350,000 Purchased this home with my former partner back in 2018 and we put 200k down.

@Cosmo DePinto,I’ve seen investors do great in Huntsville—let me share a few detailsIn short, yes—it’s arguably one of the strongest markets in Alabama for a balance between cash flow and appreciation.
