If I'm understanding correctly, for a cash refinance...If you buy an investment property, fix/repair it, and get a higher appraisal, you can then take the $ difference and put a down payment on another investment, etc.If so, are there tax implications with a cash refinance?

Hopefully you did not pay too much for the dirt. 1 acre is optimal these days because of desired double to triple drive thru for QSR.It can become a problem because if they make the building smaller you get less rent but they do more sales.Example a QSR used to be 3,000 to 4,000 sq ft but now instead wants double drive thru's as not many go inside for fast food like pre-covid.If you get 1,000 a foot less at 30 a foot you just lost 30k NOI and now at 5 cap example paying all cash NNN once developed you have lost 600k value.It can fine as long as you do not overpay for the land.

Hey Carl, I have a few S8 tenants in Detroit, but most of my tenants are "cash paying".I'd start by searching the forums here for "section 8" related threads.

Id love some input on starting my own property management business to generate cash for more deals.

I should’ve specified in my post that my HOA requires a minimum 1 month rental and I have to provide a signed lease for each rental. 

The rental yields here are also quite attractive—duplexes, in particular, can provide a strong cash flow.2.
