@Matt Tortora For cash flow? 

However, chances of making a mistake or overlooking an opportunity to save are higher when it comes to rentals.The dilemma is whether it's worth paying a professional in this case.

Both strategies have pros and cons, but it depends on your equity, cash flow goals, and risk tolerance.

My concern is doing the cash out refi on my other rental and causing a new and much higher payment on it that I can't just pay off like a loan.

I'm interested in flipping, and short-term rentals at the moment to build good cash flow, then pivot into more of a buy-and-hold/appreciation play 10-15 years from now.

@Cosmo DePinto,I’ve seen investors do great in Huntsville—let me share a few detailsIn short, yes—it’s arguably one of the strongest markets in Alabama for a balance between cash flow and appreciation.

They only accept cash.

Purchase price: $68,000 Cash invested: $70,000 Sale price: $195,000 I purchased a long-term rental property from the MLS that had multiple contractor issues and significant delays.

If approved, you’d already be in a position to add units, whereas others might still be navigating the zoning process.That said, rezoning takes time and isn’t guaranteed, so it’s worth weighing the cost, process, and likelihood of approval.
