Yes  I think the best move here is to asses your total monthly debt and see if a cash out refi will help decrease the total interest and monthly debt obligation.

This is a great post.I was also looking at Packwood WA for STR investments and noticed that the occupancy rate has been low.

Generally I start the nagging emails and texts after about the 15th of the month and depending on the response I deliver notice by the 18th.

On top of the 2 that are ongoing, I'm permitting for 2 new builds, and I noticed that pool prices came down a few bucks, and my truss prices were 30% less than when I started building 6 months ago.  

Also, I noticed his office has poor controls over sensitive data.

I’ve seen countless stories of families choosing between groceries and rent, or parents juggling eviction notices while trying to shield their children from the stress.

A new owner with more capital can easily come in and decrease vacancy rates and increase supply to realize a 2-3x revenue.

Wholesale, foreclosure, and seller financing can work too, but I’ve noticed that careful analysis and having reliable local contacts often deliver the best results over time.So as you two gear up for your first flip, how are you balancing the potential risk with your long-term goal of buying rentals?

And lastly, I search FunishedFinder listings nearby, find comparable properties, and track the listed rent for a few months (does it increase, decrease?).

Real Estate values, nationally, have never decreased over any 10 years. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MSPUSFocus on optimizing active income first.
