The main difference now is instead of your property carrying a $60,000 mortgage, it carries a refinanced $98,000, limiting your cash flow but freeing up your line of credit for any subsequent purchases.

In real estate, it's not so simple as to make a loan and agree to additional unknown profits for a lender,  everything a lender makes from a loan can be considered interest, regardless of when it is paid, future unknown amounts effect usury laws, points, the status of the lender and their relationship in a project or enterprise.

I self managed this property (and subsequently purchased ones) up until March 2017 when I hired a PM,  mainly in response to Seattle regulations,  to position myself for further scale,  and to get some free time back.
