In order to do this, you want to make sure your loan to ARV on your initial bridge loan, or loan to costs if using cash, are low enough for you to come out ahead on the refinance.

The result is unpredictable: you may still come out ahead due to tax savings, or you may have no significant benefit, or you may lose this gamble. 

Once again, they did not go cheap...they could have spent $400 ish dollars to buy me a cheap DQ (I still expected as much) but they offered $1500 as a top limit and said go ahead and pick a new one!

Therefore, I'd figure out how low my occupancy and rental rate can get so that I at the very least break even.If you want to get ahead of the competition, you might want to try to get something special.

Just a heads up! 

I went ahead and blocked off my schedule.  

Unless you have connections into properties that will be foreclosed or sold cheap, it's almost impossible as a newbie to be ahead of the game. 2nd thing is that the market out here is insane.

Did you ever compare it to stocks to see which one comes out ahead? 

That settles it, I'll go ahead and file in OK. 

I would have agreed with everyone at the time to go ahead and buy.
