I’m also exploring the idea of starting a nonprofit dedicated to this mission—helping youth get acclimated to real estate investing and setting them up for a financially secure future.If anyone in this community is interested in contributing or being involved in such a venture, I’d love to connect and discuss how we can make a bigger impact together.

This is also the same percentage that you need for a non-cash out refinance (more on why that is important later).If you purchased the investment property with a loan, then conventional loans will require you to wait 6 month to take cash out.This rule does not apply if you purchased the home with CASH (more on that in section 2).Let’s explore some examples here: If you purchased a property with a 15% down conventional loan (85% loan to value) and you wanted to get cash out, you wouldn’t be able to do so since the cash out limit is 75% of the “Loan to Value”.

Feel free to reach out to me if you want to discuss 2nds and if it's something you'd want to explore.
