Wow, people used to bring over a cake or pie back in the day.

They try to have the cake and eat it to.

. : )There is no having your cake and eating it to in this world.

You can usually take it all out for around 1-2% fee...which if you did your homework is cheaper than most (although some cards don't charge during the into period) but when you go the gold route especially right now because of the shaky market conditions of wall street, gold is going up...so instead of getting charged a fee there is a possibly of actually making some money instead (this should not be considered as part of the strategy but maybe icing on the cake for a cheap transfer rate.)

@John SamuelsonI would just freshen it up to current rent standards and rent that for a while collecting on the cash flow and the appreciation will be icing on the cake when you want out.

In essence just clean out everything thats caked on and could obstruct the gas flow.

If I were in your position I would have my cake and eat it too.
