You could cash out refi OR sell in a year and 10-31 the profits into 2-3 more doors.

Welcome to Texas.Sounds like a great plan.Remember you can 1031 the current investment property into the next deal to save on your capital gains taxes potentially. 

Eventually 1031 exchange into a larger asset and repeat6.

We are approaching closing on sale of an investment property and are looking to 1031 in to an airbnb cabin in Blue Ridge. 

I would consider 1031 exchange to one high quality Nevada or Arizona SFH or duplex but high prices and 7% interest rates are dissuading me from doing anything.

I was advised to advertise it where 1031 exchange properties are listed in Florida, but I am not finding what I am looking for. 

I'd sell my children if they cost me that much annually (wait they already do :)Protect the equity with a 1031 exchange. 

yesss you'll want to run the numbers on a few different scenarios: 1. doing a cash-out refi (new loan amount, new rate), 2. doing a HELOAN to tap into your equity... and actually, 3. selling the property and doing a 1031 into a bigger asset that will cashflow better. condos (when doing LTR) rarely cashflow much if anything. find an investor-friendly loan officer that can help you figure out which path is right for you!

I have a client that a few months back did a 1031 Exhange with me, never met him.

The heat exchange showed it failed due to not enough descaling which I believe (I suspect it was descaled twice).
