When Helene/Milton hit we had local displacements and I suspended any rising rates (rising naturally due to spike to demand).

Usually of the home requires major repairs it may require a HML "hard money loan" then you refinance in 6 months on the new ARV.DSCR is also not a great avenue for low loan amounts because all loans under $125K will take a rate hit and the minimums are usually $125k after down payment with some going down to $100K Min.

@Ryan BroschardHi Ryan,You have hit a common issue many new investors fail to anticipate.  

If my Tennessee property gets hit by a tornado, I can move to my Alabama place.

You’re likely not hitting 500 hours (one of the tests) so you’re relying on the 100+ hour and more than anyone else’s time or substantially all the time in the activity.

It sounds like you've done a lot of the preparation work required to hit the ground running. 

One example would be the office sector being hit hard with defaults.

Currently, Cape Coral's inventory, new listings, etc are on the decline again.As @Bernard J. implied, I would take a sizeable tax hit if I sold immediately, but again there are a lot of market conditions at play. 

Quote from @Najeh Davenport:  Hey BP family, I’m hoping to get some advice because I’ve hit a bit of a roadblock with a refinance, and I’m not sure what my next steps should be.
