You’re borrowing against the equity in your home, so the money is not income but rather loan proceeds that you’ll need to repay.The pros of a cash-out refinance for most investors include the ability to build their portfolio and scale their real estate investment business.The cons could be trading a lower interest rate for a higher one and increasing your loan-to-value (LTV) ratio.

Hello, I have rented out a Single family home on Jan 1st 2024, tenant was brought in by an agent and setup lease as well.The tenant profile was not so great, but it was empty for more than 3 months and I reluctantly rented it out.Since then, tenant was paying rent, but on 5th of every month after couple of followups.Last month they pushed it to 15th asking they were hit by sickness, family emergencies and BS, I said its only one time pass and they paid it on 15th.Now August 1st is upcoming, they are requesting for a call setup to chat, not sure whats that abt, but I presume to buy time.BF and GF signed the lease, it appears things not working out well between them, only lady is  answering emails/chats/calls.
