@Devon Shives,Your situation has a lot of potential, but here’s a thought: A cash-out refi could work if you’re confident you can use the $30-35k effectively for your next property, but the higher rate and payment might indeed limit your borrowing power for another mortgage.Consider these alternatives:1.

This house had 12” of water/ice in the basement... there’s a nice sump pump set up just sitting there with no power...

Event with all that the sale prices have been over the list price on average close to 1.5% over, which would seem a bit counter.If rates end up dropping a decent amount at all the prices could rocket even with inventory growing again. 

And the power of leverage will bring me generational wealth in about 10 years.

It puts the brakes on big power company’s power.

You might luck out and find a guy that on the DL hates gov and loves to comply just to take back the "power." 

Even so, you need to buy expensive equipments and use a lot of power to mine very little Bitcoin.  

I would recommend to look into something more powerful for business/corporate usage.Section C is not my expertise, but I would recommend to follow  the law and have strong security policy such as minimum password requirements and regular changes.To end this on a positive note, Cybersecurity is slowly moving to the forefront of business thinking and it's taken more seriously now than 10, 20 years ago.

If you plan on buying these properties using a mortgage its also best to begin the pre approval process and work with an investor friendly lender to help guide and educate you what the best product might be for your projects to make sure you dont already max out your borrowing power after the first deal.

You can get more insights from other brokers that way you have more open spaces and still hold on to the power.
