@Mike Dymski @Dave Foster great points about refinancing.

The only problem is that you will now have a payment against it if you spend it (which you would on the down payment for property #2) and you will have difficulty (I think) refinancing property #1 in the future with a active HELOC on it.

If you sell, you'll walk with without paying capital gains.That's the argument on paper.I would talk to a loan officer ASAP about refinancing.

In 02/2016 I refinanced the loan to 15 years at 3.12500% rate and switched it to a conventional loan; avoid paying PMI and take advantage of the low interest rate for 15years amortization.

In the terms, I would certainly give myself the option of refinancing her out of the deal - but I want to weigh the pros and cons of a long term seller financed deal.I'm seeing the pros of a long term seller-finance like low down payment potential, locking in a low interest rate long term, and not having the pressure of refinancing if the market turns.My questions are - what are some other pros of a long term seller finance deal, and maybe more importantly - what are the potential cons that I'm missing?

.#1 Do you think its worth keeping my current rental and refinancing for my next move or should I dump it and start fresh local?

Hi all,So I just got done refinancing a SFH after a successful BRRRR.
