Semper Fi!

Coldwell banker is a small amount cheaper than L&F, I think CB is $225.

If we were in fact to purchase a property using a Hard Money Lender to purchase one of our buy and holds (bc a lot of them are not retail but below market and we would want renovate it and then place tenants),  could we re-fi right out into a mortgage and avoid putting down a down payment... just curious?

But again, you can always ask around and see what banks are offering what options.Once you secure the cash you need, I agree with @John Hamilton concept - sell or hold, this is dominos, once you get one property done (the one that needs the least amount of cash to finish), you can re-fi or get another HELOC and that cash will pay for the next, etc. etc.Good luck, I hope you hit it out of the park!

I'm not familiar with the actual appraisal process on a Re Fi  vs.

And thank you @Eric F.  I

This way you avoid the closing costs of the re-fi. 

They may be more open to being a little more creative or offering better terms on a cash out re-fi on your existing portfolio, particularly if you are willing to move all of your business over to them.
