It sounds like you may have found a property that will, in the end, be a good fit for what you're looking for!

As long as comps don't reflect those highly upgraded sidings most investors would go with the cheaper option if the purpose is to maximize benefits on the refinance. 16k for siding sounds high if it's a 1000-1500 sqft home

Glad to know others use it and like it at least from the sounds of those on this forum.
