We bought our place in 2016 hoping our home would appreciate in value, but it has also been affected by the whole development getting major stucco repairs because of the bad window installation. 

The site has quite a few tools that can be helpful for new members.

I’m thinking... what if I find a new already renovated house... put 20% down and let’s say that house goes up in value over the years and then I cash out refinance.

I developed my own software and it tool me about 30 hours, but I save $1200 every year and I don't have to use their cumbersome and VERY INACCURATE software that causes many accounting mistakes.

Now for the flip. with everything that is going on, our house has basically doubled in value and we are planning on cashing in.

Would be pretty amazing, to kind of have a pre-analysis filter tool.

Would you refinance this property with cashout and use the cash as a downpayment for a SFH that would increase in value more than a condo?

I personally wouldn't sell - If you sell the home, you lose about 8% in value of the home that you don't get back when you purchase a new home.If you purchase a new home, you may be paying another 2% in costs.If there is a lot of equity in the home, I would potentially consider doing a refinance.

I have also found that if the veteran goes to their regional center (if appraiser does not come up in value) and pleads their case of hardship and their situation, the VA will increase value.
