By refinancing your current loan and going to a 30 year fixed loan, you are able to reduce your minimum monthly debt and increase your purchasing power because your debt ratios will be reduced in the eyes of your lender. 

Or any other system that costs money, doesn't generate motivated leads, lots of work, unscalable unreliable, stressful, and questionable and unethical (D4$, Cold calling, DMM, RVM, Bandit signs)... 

I’m looking to refi to reduce my debt to income prior to buying my next house hack property.

Additionally, although he says he doesn’t necessarily need to replace the income that was generated from the property, I’m thinking a consistent monthly payment with absolutely no work for him and no stress of managing the property anymore may be appealing.I need to sit down and look at the numbers and come up with an offer that is advantageous to us, but also fair to him.

By investing in a multifamily syndication, or in a multifamily fund, you are diversifying your investment across hundreds of units, thereby reducing your vacancy risk. 6.Inflation can affect different geographical areas differently.

Yes it sucks and yes it's stressful but it's the only really hard part about the whole ordeal. 

And the Linder case ended up with a $61,500 fine (After the Federal Court reduced it from an original $76,500 fine) for simply asking in casual conversation "So where are you from?"

You also win from the standpoint of less stress in finding someone that will believe you are telling the truth about your actual income. 

@Sam RajHey Sam,The homestead exemption reduces the tax assessed value of a homestead by $25k and limits the amount the tax assessor can raise the tax assessed value of your home by 10% per year.

So, in one aspect, you could use your VA loan to purchase the home with 0% down, reducing your initial costs.
