Hopefully, I won't be pulling my hair out by this time next year!

He had to reply to a couple of my questions with "let me talk to my mentor about that" so somebody is pulling the strings somewhere. 

Good luck, and i'm super duper analytical and trying to be paralyzed but also make the proper decision and pull the trigger, luckily I moved from my first home and turned that into a rental. 

As many have probably experienced, you'll conduct your "research" and find favorable possibilities and still be hesitant to pull the trigger.

By the way, if you just want to pull equity out of your current home - I got a 90% LTV home equity line from Key Bank (they go even higher than 90%!)

We haven't pulled permits for any copper piping and there isn't even any going into the house...it's all PEX.

We take off the outlet and switch covers (easiest to replace these as it's sometimes tough to get the odor out of plastic) and we pull out the cabinet drawers and open up all we can to let the ozone penetrate as deep as possible.

I would force appreciation if are able to add value, raise rents, decrease expenses and refinance asap to pull the free money out.

As it stands now you should be able to refinance and get a better rate, while also pulling out cash for reinvestment.

The HELOC seemed easier with less fees( I had to pull out a certain amount of money but put it right back in).
