I've been comfortable in the area I am in but want to seek out properties with lower property taxes and laws that are landlord friendly.

Are you seeking cash flow or appreciation? 

It would be nice to have a place where investors of a wide range of experience level gather and don't care about making money off of each other but only seek to have productive discussions and network with others.

I am seeking a low-doc, cash-out refi on two properties that I own in GA. 

Certainly don't want to cause myself tax issues, but I'm not claiming to be a qualified business seeking higher deductions either. 

My gut instinct tells me one thing so I am seeking opinions and advise.

Also, some will do Replacement cost while others only do Actual Cash Value for how they payout on the loss.You should probably seek quotes from an independent agent.

Learn the ropes and then start to actively seek and grow a multi-family business if that is the goal. 

Here are the numbers:Purchase Price - $45kRenovation - $17.1kHolding Costs (To Date) - $3.5kList Price - $99.9k 15% Down Payment Closing Costs & Points - $4.5kAt the end of the day this wasn’t the expected home run deal most newbie investors like me seek.

Additionally, we were hoping that either A) The new Bankruptcy Case will get dismissed or B) His Bankruptcy will go through and he will be granted a Discharge, after which we could then seek an Order of Possession (AGAIN).
