I have tried numerous lenders, banks and credit unions all requiring a 25% DP for multi family.

Except, you've worked yourself out of the work load and you now have numerous sales-y employees calling around and helping you find deals.

I have listened to numerous BP podcasts, and am starting to read some of the many great books written by members of BP, but am just getting started on the forums.

Have a rental which is the right side of a duplex.Left side has been abandoned for 5 years, it was abandoned when I bought it.Despite numerous attempts by myself and the neighbors to get the borough to do something about it they have done nothing.

Property is located in the Coronado Historic District and is in close proximity to numerous bars/restaurants and local hospitals.

Also I have talked with numerous investors in the area and the cap rate seems to be from 7-8%.

There are numerous original acts playing every-single night of the week and countless bars/clubs all over the place (and many of them signed to independent small labels).

After numerous complaints multiple times a week, I reached out the upstairs tenants directly with emails and a phone call.

I also find an Open House is great A) It saves me from making numerous appointments, especially when a percentage wont even call or show up and B) Creates some competition when potential candidates see others interested in the home. 

If you cash out refi and use that capital to bring in a cash flow and or appreciate rate greater than the interest rate difference, this move would make numerical sense.
