Options I'm weighing list and see if it gets bid up and how high than 1031 into 2 STR or a number of purchase combinations cash out refi decrease cashflow drastically but acquire another unit that would theoretically cash flow as much or more than the decreased cash flow from the refi?

John - I like   scenarios  1 and  5 ......what you might want to do is to get the heloc  in place for  as  high an amount as  possible   as this  will  give you the  funds  to  do the remodeling  you desire  plus  provide  extra  funds  for  possible  down payment  funds  if you decide to buy  you  dont pay interest  on the heloc unless its pulled out fyi - the heloc lenders  are  going up to a 90% combined loan value in most cases  fyi - if you  decide to buy another  rental property - the min down payment for  SFR  is  15%  of the purchase  price 

I make a combined total of ~$1500 cash flow every month after taxes, insurance, repairs, and I have an offer on this property right now to sell under an owner finance deal for: Owner Finance Price: $175K Down Payment: 10% or $17,500 Term: 15 Years Rate: 8.75% Annual Taxes: $675 Annual Insurance: $1,480 Estimated Monthly Payment to me: $1,574.13 for 15 yearsWhy I'm thinking of selling: 1.

I’ve bought two properties since then that net me $2200/month combined between my two new properties I found recently.

@Trevor LoweIs it feasible to combine your heloc and savings and simply purchase in cash?

I personally own a combination of short & long-term rental property in Rochester.

Combine that with data from airdna and you will be setting yourself up for success. 

@Dean Kaeo have you seen that thing where you combine pop rocks and coke . . .

I am most likely going to do a combination of private financing and hard money lenders. 

That combined with tactical empathy are extremely powerful skills to have.
