The refresher on the 50% rule led us to re-evaluate our strategy based on our reply.

If I take cash-out refinance (e.g. 80% of equity) for this house so that I can use that money in some other investment, would it result in same (or simlar) tax benefit as like I have a refresh mortage on this house? 

I think 6 weeks will be the sweet spot, that I can recover and refresh, and will also allow me to get to know my new city and make some connections- That vacation will NOT be funded by my profits, but rather from savings already set aside for that purpose- If I don't take an extended break, It probably wouldn't be wise to pay off my car either, and I can apply that extra 20K to my next deal and use it to generate more profit.

I can't seem to locate any material from that vendor and didn't know if someone in here could refresh my memory. 

You can always add extra paymentsthat said the capex and tenant turnover are going to be your major issuesIs this a repositioning to something higher end or refreshed?

Networking is huge is this game, plus it is very refreshing to be surrounding with like minded people.

@Jay Hinrichs refreshing to hear…I have several commercial brokers sending me NNN deals.

Ok, I'm in Michigan and I tend to do simple refresh type renovations. 

Refresh landscaping.I will also be replacing the HVAC.

The opportunity cost of lost rent, the cost and effort to refresh the home and find/vet a new tenant is significant.
