At least if it's sitting empty, no one is doing any damage.

They recently renovated the place and it is now sitting vacant until they sell it.

It's in central Florida and started as our primary residence, before she moved and I convinced her to rent it out rather than letting it sit vacant.

I've never done a cash out refi before, I think I grasp the basics, but is it worth it to just pull that cash out and sit on it until I find my next property because then my cashflow would go down to cover the higher loan amount, yes?

Hello, I was about a week and a half out from closing on a great deal in Salem MA and just found out that the seller has a ~$95k judgement sitting in 2nd position on the deed along with a ~$2k water and sewer lien.

I've called my bank and they have no product to help me (and had no knowledge of what an SDIRA LLC is)...and maybe there is no option but thought I would check with others.When establishing a checkbook IRA what do people do for the actual checking account...meaning,If I have 200k that I want access to I understand the steps required to establish this SDIRA but I hate to leave 200k in a checking account and earning nothing or very nearly nothing in investment interest...I will have the 200k sit there until I find the right investment, maybe the investment doesn't use the entire 200k, and/or then there is the money coming back in from rents I don't really want that to sit either.I do realize that I can buy other investments via this account but what is the best way to do so while still remaining liquid so I can pull the trigger on the right opportunity?

Right now we are sitting at about 7.5 - 8 million people.

But other than that, if you are not sitting on a hard money loan where you're paying high interest every month there really isn't a difference selling it to her or a different cash buyer.

Personally I cant make most multi's come out right now, and the "big players" in Multi's are sitting on the sidelines and even selling right now, as institutional investors are coming in for 1% or even 0% returns expecting appreciation. 

For one, welcome to the pros circle ^^ Also I'd be interested in sitting down and talking with you sometime before the 12th if you are available for either coffee or lunch or even just a breif chat on the phone.
