My logic is I want the advantages of being a cash buyer, but I certainly want to take some of the equity back out of the property to invest in another.Any recommendations on a lender who does this?

I'm in Bayside and around here 2 families go for $1.3 million, and I could see the logic of going for $2,600/month rent.

Does this logic generally make sense with your understanding of the law?

Even when rental property investing, you need to be thinking on a personal finance level as well- in this case, following the logic of an emergency fund. 

That the purely logical analysis.

Seems logical to apply for the biggest loan first, correct?

If you get one get the Logic keyboard/case too.

I agree with your logic on doing the rehab myself, however, this would be my first flip and I have no one to actively manage and oversee the whole process as I live about 14 hours from it.

There's a poorly written clause, I'd abide by it just to get the threat of eviction away.Human beings are emotional creatures capable of logic, not logical creatures capable of emotion.It's bad practice to live in close proximity to someone with ill will towards you.

Just apply the same logic you applied when you moved somewhere..... to the rental.You probably picked an area that best fit your needs, right?
