But if you plan to scale up, aren't you talking about $1mm to $2mm upfront cash to support your deals, prior to lenders? 

You'll want to push that appraisal up if you want to get the most cash out.

2) Personal Savings.

When you assume a loan there is no way to get "Cash out" unless you are going to pay off the wife an agreed share. 

I have a odd question,  70+ unit property 6mill left on note 5.50 30yr amortized   assuable 3 yr i/o remain BP calculator, Cash flow is positive cap x 1.5mill in Improvemennts in the last year with 20 units for value add improvements where do I go to get approved or a deal or a foot in the door? 

With current prices and interest rates, you're not cash flowing with LTRs.

It's nice to find a place where people get jacked up about cashing in early retirement funds rather than call you crazy!

Stay put and use some cash to expand your asset base.

I am not looking to take equity out against my house, and my other 2 rental properties are already going through a cash out refinance to pay for renovations of a fixer upper that I am buying.

I am working on getting my credit fixed up and saving up the money that I know I will need for down payment, reserves, etc...
