@Jonathan Beaty at the time of the post the rates were about .75% better.

I may have posted a similar thread around Halloween in years past but only because the paranormal and ghost stories entertain me so much!

But that’s a topic for a different post….

As Zach said in his post, 80% is the max LTV on a rate and term refi.

And after checking out a few posts here, it looks like these zip codes may not be that great.

I also do post to local neighborhood groups on Facebook periodically but recently have cut down on my social media dramatically (too much drama, arguing, and general hatred towards one another.)That said, when you meet someone for the first time and they say, "What do you do for a living" I've (finally) pivoted to say, "I own a small real estate business" first (instead of after talking about my W2.) 

Good stuff to think about, thank you Sebastian.It's cool to see extra replies from time to time on this post as I continue with the ideas.It's interesting, I looked into different DSTs and had conversations but just didn't feel comfortable with what I felt was a lack of control or ability to really know the operators and properties.I also kept running the numbers and just couldn't make 1031s into other properties make sense with the new interest rates compared to what I have now.
