I've been pre-approved for a cash-out refi at 5.5%, 30 year fixed and will bump my mortgage payment up from $657 to $1050.

I'm sure your bump of the keyword just alerted more than one BP member who works in that massive facility.  

If you bump rent to $1800 then you're getting your money back after 1 to 2 years max.

You need to find investors who have executed these strategies.In the case of rehab, we look to spend about 3k per door in a C property, and want to achieve at least $100 per month rent bump.  

Not sure if that's standard or due to my type of account with them (Private Client...I have 3 IRA's, a solo-401k, and Rollover 401k so total with them bumps me up into their Private Client level banking).Their interest is non-existent (I use Ally.com for holding money @ 1.65%) but I've never had a problem with them. 

I guess your post just got bumped!

If the market is as hot as you say it is, a foundation repair is but a bump in a road to a flipper.

I thought to myself "that's gotta be some heavy texture to cover all those bumps!" 

bump

Kitchen Cabinets with fist sized holes, an overflowing AC drain that went unreported for lord knows how long, causing standing water & mold growth along the entire back half of the house (hence the water issue), and we found a nice pit bull puppy (no pet policy) that conveniently ate carpet + pad, chewed window casings and doors in EVERY room.
