I have a plan to reach Financial Independence at the age of 35 (I am almost 27), and my goal is to use Real Estate Investing to speed up my trajectory and reach FI earlier.

@Bill F., I always hesitate using the phrase "cap rate" on this forum because I know it triggers heated discussion.

But if not, is there a reason why you wouldn't just re-fi the condo and cash out the equity?

Every month, there is a investor meetup at improper city so keep your eyes open for that, details are posted The FI Team group on Facebook.

They have Wi-Fi.

I was looking into renting out as I'm being told it may rent for 1400-1600/mo but as we have a lot of equity tied into this property, (Credit Cards/Cash) it may be difficult to justify renting unless we can re-fi and pay off that debt, and lower our mortgage, then it wouldn't be a bad idea.  

Hello all,I've only been just introduced FI, I've read a few financial books and every work day on my drive I listen to Scott and Mindy on BP Money.

I wouldn't re-fi into a higher interest rate just to increase the length of the amortization.

I need to either sell or re-fi a condo I bought in 2013.
