I'd estimate your cash flow after you pay the loan payment would be $600-$800, which a lender that understands investment real estate should give you some credit for on your DTI.As for a bank, I have a specific lender at NBI that I would recommend.That 600-800 you are factoring in the HELOC repayment each month too, correct?

You have to factor in demand and vacancy rates to determine if it will be more profitable, and that’s specific for each market.

You will also have to factor in the closing cost for the new loan.

Heck, some people might even pay more for the 'cool factor' of living in a 'small home'....I'd give it a go since you're a veteran of this RE stuff.
