For over a decade, cash-out refinances have been a great way to tap the equity in rental properties without selling them.

If you used that for the residence you live in now you could likely refinance that to a conventional loan possibly pulling out some funds for repairs, safety net, or another deal and then get a new VA loan for an owner occupied house hack.

We plan to fix up units (some are fairly dated), raise rents as tenants move out and then refinance once our seasoning period is over.

Once the attic is complete I would like to refinance our duplex to either pay off that HELOC or purchase another multifamily property. 

I will also shop around for a refinance load if I do another BRRRR deal.

Obviously, your rate for a cash-out/term refinance will be based on various factors.

I am aware of cash-out refinances, but from my research there's typically only enough equity on single families to do this.

At that point, use delayed financing to refinance the "cash" home to a conventional mortgage (with a lower fixed interest rate than the interest-only HELOC rate) with a lendor. 

I think it’d be worth looking at a HELOC or cash out refinance and holding the property.

Calling all lenders...I'm looking to refinance this baby!
