I just went through this last year, but after 20 years. 

Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

If you held the flip for 2 years then sold- then you could potentially do a 1031. 

People always say the best time to invest in real estate was last year. 

I currently have 2 vacant houses I purchased just over a year ago listed for sale on the MLS but no bites as of yet.

For context I have a tenant who has been in the property for close to 10 years.

15k/month = 180k/year.

We have had Citizens for the last few years...Something is fishy...  1.

I’ve been watching the Oklahoma market closely, and it’s shaping up to be one of the best places to invest this year.
