Maybe you could refi that one for 70-80% LTV at a lower rate, use the extra $$ (assuming you have enough equity) to pay down the next highest rate.Going after the one with the lowest balance will get you 'snowballing' quickest, and should also be the fastest way to reduce your DTI since the payments for that loan would drop off the quickest.

The fastest way to ensure that a tenant never reports a problem and let's your cost / property go in the wrong direction is to not appreciate the reporting.Your experience isn't her's ...call the AC contractor.
