I have noticed a trend over the pasts 10 years where more and more of the people have zero involvement in the day-to-day operations of the property and are only raising money.  

I bought a property using a 203k rehab loan and I was wondering about what will happen if you have reno money left over in your escrow account when you refinance your property?
