He started by withdrawing Roth contributions only (which there is no penalty for, because you’ve already paid the taxes) and saw the impact that had, then “burned the ships”, withdrew all of his IRA money and bought more, then 1031 and hit FI in like 2 years.That was my inspiration for something similar-I cashed out IRA contributions for my first deal, then cashed out the rest of the IRA for my 4th (a 4 plex).

Ultimate goal is to FIRE, or at least the FI part.

Was able to do a cash out re-fi for $200k and lookimg for ideas how to maximize the money.

Some are going to be more likely to want to give a HELOC this month and another might be pushing re-fi's or commercial loans.I always tell my clients to talk to at least two or three lenders and decide from there. 

Don’t want to depend fully on a re-fi in case something happens to the market.

In SC I can look at the tax records online.

This is a deal within my family that a balloon payment is coming up and my idea was to purchase the property and Re-fi cash out later down the road. 

I plan to be FI within the next 10 years before I turn 40 and by the time my kids start high school. 

That and raise your rent ;)Semper Fi brother.
