For long-term strategies, a cash-out refinance is usually more advantageous, as it preserves ownership and offers fixed terms.To proceed, start with a professional appraisal to confirm the home’s value, compare refinance terms with traditional lenders, and carefully scrutinize shared-equity program terms to ensure they align with your financial goals.

Different investors have different tastes, risk appetites, and long-term goals.

While cohosting is my initial step, my goal is to transition into a full-service hospitality management company as the business grows.

So if affordability is the goal looking at wider range is something I would suggest. 

I’ve worked with investors looking to hold land for similar goals; either to build their dream home or simply take advantage of appreciation.

Every investor has a different financial situation, set of financial goals and risk tolerance.

@Ryan WilliamsThis was my goal for years and I was on track to have my primary paid off by the time the kids went off to college.

Mid to Longterm goal/plan is fix n flips to get out of my 9-5.

My overall goal is to become a mortgage broker as I like the idea of having all lenders as an option and working for my self.I really appreciate the help! 

This time of the year we are talking about strategy and goals for our REI for next year and frankly, I am not sure where to go from here.
