@Zach Denny Did you ever put your deal together, if so I'd be curious what the bank required on CLTV and if you had to source the total down payment (PP-First Loan) then apply seller second, or if the bank let you do all that at closing functionally making your DP = PP-First Loan-Second Loan.

If you kept the property, and accumulated the CF/yr, it would take you 25 years to get that same equity that's sitting, frozen in your property.Also, if you cashed out and used that same equity as a DP on different RE, at 20% DP, that equity would buy you $2M in PV, not just $700k,...and, I'd be willing to bet, you could find new RE that would have a yearly CF well over $20k/year.On top of that (remembering my initial statement above), any appreciation applied would be applied to $2M, not just $700k.
