Are you refinancing because you need to take money from equity for the divorce?

You can charge a hefty premium because with the shop fully equipped the operator saves the cost of outfitting the shop and the time and effort required.

It sounds like an ideal moment to either plow some more money into savings or seek private funding.Perhaps if you find a modest flip you can infuse cash into your system in a hurry and build your network at the same time?

@Ashish Wa you always end up getting exactly what you paid for.You should only go cheap when YOU know exactly what you are doing.Newbies trying to save pennies, almost always cost themselves dollars via their mistakes.

I'm a newbie to real estate investing, so little words are very much appreciated :)Big picture if it helps: I'm exploring an all in one so I can plop extra savings into it until I'm ready to purchase additional properties and then can pull the money from the all in one for a downpayment elsewhere and then will continue to throw money into the all in one from my main job as I save for additional downpayments.

From the folks I have talked to that have, they are their easiest tenants and guaranteed money. 

Would like to pull money out of that home for a downpayment on another home.

That's a lot of money to let something fall into disrepair!
