that is accurate.i skimmed the responses and didn't see anyone mention house hacking. 

Hi Jake, Thank you so much, I forgot about the 2 of the last 5 year rule, I'll look into all the options you mentioned.

When you mentioned selling and other investors being involved.

Quote from @Paloma Wodehouse: You only mention two problems.

The email I received today from BP only mentioned:  Free Property Management Software from RentRedi. 

@Samuel Kim: As I mentioned in my first post, speak with a qualified professional.

I know I already mentioned this, but @Mordy Chaimovitz...If you can get by with lower cash flow and invest for the long-term generational wealth (aka appreciation) in nice neighborhoods, that is the way to go, but it's tough to get by at times -- at least it is for me.Just know everyone's situation is different, and you should do what is best for your specific circumstances!

Some honest little birds might have mentioned a few things….

Just wanted to mention that the cash out refinance funds are not tax free forever.

@Shiloh LundahlHopefully you won't think I lost my mind but I agree with you disagreeing with me on the things you mentioned and I agree with most of what you wrote.
