I have saved up a very nice safety net for repairs which is at about 7.5kMy RE agent buddy did a comp for me last week as I was thinking about refinancing and getting some equity out for a new investment and it came in at around 90-100k.However with a cash out refi I can only go up to 75% of ARV..so after all is said and done the payment would drop to around 510 on a new 30 yr and all the cost of business would eat up most of my cash out leaving me with a little under 5k......ugggh I feel like that 30k of equity is just trapped and don't know what to do.I still need one more year of landlord experience to move on to bigger abd better things, so selling this year seems out of the question.Do I just leave well enough alone for the moment?
