Personally, I’ve decided to sell two properties out of my portfolio of 26 to address some unexpected expenses and other debts.I was hesitant at first because I didn’t want to let go of any properties.

I have used LIma one on my personal new builds  ..

You can probably find an online link about how extreme temperature changes are not the ideal way to heat a home and cost more in the long run.I don't know what the local rental rules are where you are, but look them up and see if you can give her notice. 

If you’re looking for a cash out refinance utilizing a conventional type of loan then you can certainly pay off personal debt.

Are all of your leases between tenants and your personal name or the DBA name?   

I would personally rather be the guy with the lower purchase price and higher rate, but it doesn't help a brand new househacker in the short term. 

TLDR: Bad idea for your personal home.

Quote from @Elizabeth Rose: @Josh Bowser this tip of doing a quick search on county GIS or software to see if homes in a neighborhood are owned in personal names or LLCs is gold, thank you!

That being said, I would use the "Lenders" link on BiggerPockets to try to reach out to more lenders about any programs they have that may fit your needs.Granted, my personal experience is somewhat dated, but when I was primarily doing BRRRs, I had a local lender that required 12 month seasoning on my first two deals.  

If you fail to follow the rules, you may open your personal assets to a lawsuit.
