Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay HinrichsGreat points - yes many are from here on BP such as a bearded guy, a guy who threatened to sue a LP and still doesn’t respond according to his investors, two other “note funds” one investing in skidrow homes and the other in broadway plays….

Hi Robert,Given you are looking to buy another rental (long term), a cash out refinance on the existing property would be a good play here.

When you have a proven track record of performance, then you can play with other people's money. 

I highly recommend you play with that tool to start getting an understanding of what things you can do to positively affect your credit! 

Are you leaning toward a quick sale so you can focus on Oregon, or do you see potential in holding onto this Florida home as a cash flow play?

Is this a cash-flow play or an apprecation play?

Contractors play such a huge role in real estate projects.

Curious how this will play out in the courts (granted it's LTR) and affect pricing products used for STR such as PriceLabs (which I use but have to seriously manually adjust for very specific reasons).

Allow things to play out, unless the buyer closes sooner.

These will be LTRs and I will most definitely be playing the long game with these.In addition, as rates go down in the future (hopefully) I plan to refinance as most of us do.
