That means you are getting $730 rent, and the market rate is probably $1,200 or more.

Are they advertised as having squatters?

Any pointers on how should I run numbers to compare two cases.Case 1:  Rent home A, Buy Home B @7.5%, with potential refinance at 3.5-4% ( ifff thats feasible ) after 2 years, once the rates are down. ( i know high hopes , but I dont think 7.5% is the new normal ).Case 2: Sell the home, get equity out, pay the whole equity ( dont know if thats wise ) towards downpayment of home B, reducing loan amount to approx 320k. 

It will be a search until lending and rates start to ease up. 

What appx rates would I be looking at for each and what are the pro-con's here?

Have an idea from that perspective of what will get you the rates you need (ie., number and sizes of beds, etc.)  

We have seen our policy rates double in the last couple of years.

A cash out refi would replace your current mortgage (and its rate) with a new one.

I will have no problem renting out my place on my own for the rate I'm looking for.
