In my personal opinion, I think the return of 100% bonus (or at least expanding 179 a bit) is somewhat likely with the new administration, so it might be worth it to you to hold off on doing anything until things look a little bit more concrete.

With substantial equity in your Fort Worth rental, a cash-out refinance could free up funds to purchase additional properties.

Leaving out auction and foreclosure costs for a second, when you write that check for $220k the trustee is going to pay BigBadBank the $175k they are owed first, then he's going to pay LittleBadBank the remaining $45k, and you will get a clean title as the process is going to wipe the slate clean.

As you purchase more, your net worth will go up more quickly than the savings in interest with the other option.

Generally, the biggest difference is that DSCR Loans often have prepayment penalties attached which typically will have a 1%-5% fee if you prepay the loan within the first five years so its the "risk" of having to pay a little extra fee if you sell or refinance the property pretty early on.PS - check out this series of 10 articles published on BP on all things DSCR Loans which can give you a full rundown on everything you would need to know when using this type of loan!

If you assign the contract get proof of funds in advance and make sure they are trust worth.

Anyone have recommendations on ones that are actually worth it and have helped you or others you know. 

You'll lose rent while property is vacant, and you'll probably have to do more repairs to attract a new tenant than you would to keep the current tenant.Is all that worth requiring a tenant to use one specific payment platform?

Unless you are talking serious money, which I would say is 2k or more in excess taxes, it may not be worth your effort.
