Let the bank tell you if they would consider a cash out refi on the deal your looking at.I have never done one (disclaimer) and I'm sure someone that has will come along but in the mean time start calling banks find one that will meet your criteria.

@Mark Ainley, I'm looking forward to learning more about GC in the coming weeks and hope I get a chance to meet you when I come to meet with Bryan.

hi @Travis Glenn, I would love to meet with you!

I also would like to meet like minded investors and perhaps a mentor.

We only just moved to the area a few months ago from Buffalo, NY, so I don't think I'll be able to help you with area expertise, but I can offer to you to check out the podcasts, join in conversation in the forums, and check out the Education -> Guides in the top menu of the BP website.  

Start coming to the REIA meet ups, they're great 👍 Kinley Puzey I can get you the dates if you'd like.
