I think crypto and de-fi will be interesting to watch the next 5 years.

Another issue keeping me from moving forward with the LLC is the fact that to refinance, you would need to pull the property out of the LLC, and then put it back in after the cash out re fi is completed...Does anyone have any input on this?

This would let the mortgagor re-fi on a substantially less valuable property, buying my dad out early.Well the mortgagor missed a payment later in the year, but not before calling my dad well in advance.

I have seen some lenders that only re-fi the amount you owe the hard money, and some will refi the full appraised value.

Is it still possible to do cash out re-fi's on re-hab projects purchases with hard money loans?

Im always inclined to hear where they have gone in the last couple months and more inclined to share with them fi I can help them, and those seem to be the guys gaining traction.  

Although from what I heard tax's on non owner occ are something to consider in SC.. I

How much will they allow to re-fi?

I will re-fi in a year.
