If you are considering a refinance anyways, the appreciation play may be your best bet for a home you want to live in.If you are looking for more of an investment property, I would focus on Medium-Term-Rentals or Rent by the Room in a SFH (single family home). 

Hey guys, my name is Zack Nelson and I live in Northeast Nebraska and own a single family rental home in the same area. 

So you or your wife could have a single member LLC (since it would be disregarded and not pay its own taxes.) or you could buy in just your name or just your wife’s name.

It is a single family home that my father left after he passed.

@Zachary Bannon in terms of asset classes, would you be open to a smaller square footage single family?

I bet they will give you the information you want in return for removing the review.

Echoing everyone else, also be mindful of how that property will then compare to comps.For example, lets say that you have a three bedroom single family with 1.5 baths, and it is 1.8k square footage.

As we know they were so used to Negative Gearing that to buy a prop that had positive Gear of 10 to 20%  on paper they went for the 20 every single time. 

Sure, managing what you've got is important, but without a deal, you're just spinning your wheels.Now, when it comes to buying up properties, multi-family ones are a whole different ball game compared to single-family homes.
