Heather Ippolito Buy a house with cash and then take out mortgage?

In this way, I view the excess equity as an insurance policy in the beginning.3)Your property value will go up after you fix it and stabilize ... refinancing then allows you to pull most or all of your initial investment out if you like, and possibly with better financing terms since the property is fixed, stabilized, and "seasoned".4)By "seasoning" the investment first, you will have a much better idea what the actual financials are, and can therefore better predict how much debt burden it can support and still safely remain cash flow positive.Downside is you need the cash and it is locked in the property until you cash out refi, and it is not 100% certain you will be able to refi when you want and on the terms you want.
