I know it’s not a super helpful comment for your end goal but my wife and I are looking for a second rental in Virginia Beach if you were interested in freeing up some funds for your Pittsburgh expansion.

I would stay long enough for the 2 years so you quaify nothing is going to happen in the next year or so.. that tax free money is the best thing we have going in the US in my mind. then U could buy some very safe first trust deeds and make 4 to 6K a month NET NET NET without any of the TTTs..

Get knowledge, follow experienced people, and leverage wisely.My Take:If you have two houses, excellent credit, and motivation to build wealth, you can learn to manage your money responsibly.Use HELOC, credit cards, and business credit funding to leverage your cash and buy properties faster.

Most people are refinancing a BRRR because they are in short term debt (like 12 month hard money used for purchase +rehab financing) or own the property free and clear (they bought all cash) and would get a higher return on equity by leveraging the property and reinvesting the cash out proceeds of the loan to scale the portfolio.
