I’m currently being put on my parents feed.Now, I want to get a loan to pay off their balance $45k, get a lower interest rate (and yes it would be lower, believe it or not theirs is 9% and has been for years) and pull money out for some debt at this point I only want to pull out $20k.Obviously, there is equity.What’s the best loan for this?

My high value nights are going to book with or without VRBO so really that 4% increase is going to come from the lower value nights.

I would be cautious on looking in the lower end of that range. 

I understand some of the possible implications of making this move would be a likely higher interest rate and lower NOI on the new investment but would like to get additional feedback on what other things I should take into consideration with this possible move from those out there who might have some experience in this realm.
