@Jerry Chilimidos,Here is a list of lenders who specialize in lending to IRAs and 401Ks:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/2810/50272-list-o...I don't know where your rentals are located and how they are performing but selling might be an option vs doing cash-out refi.I would certainly consider option C.

I mean, it's a long list of 'wow".    

What is a Listing agent at simplest?

There are cheaper one’s in D/F areas but I would be careful as those can create a laundry list of additional issues.

I have cat and a dog back then and it was listed on my post I asked her to either close the window or contribute a little bit with the light bill and she ignored my messages even though I asked her like three times so I gave her a three day notice.

Since you’re considering Midwest markets, I’d highly recommend adding Detroit to your list of cities to research.

*There was 10.1% more listing inventory in the metro and a whopping 30.5% more active listings on the market in the City of Austin.

There are several articles that do an exceptional job of explaining who, what, where, why and how tax payers qualify for the ‘STR Loophole’ listed here:The Short Term Rental Tax Loop Hole: A Game Changer for W-2 Wage EarnersThe Short Term Tax Rental Loop Hole: What Investors need to know The implications on the Oregon and California Coastal STR market is a strengthening buyer pool for luxury rentals in the $750-1.5M+ range.

There is no doubt that the markets you listed will have better initial cash flow. 

You’re unlikely to find discounted properties on the market unless a listing has been sitting for 60+ days and the seller is getting real desperate.
