Can anyone direct me to investor friendly Michigan lenders who offer cash-out-refinances?

And if it does qualify as commercial according to building standards, can I refinance the building based on its commercial value?

Then when you do refinance your rentals you use this cash to buy more rentals.

Is it a purchase or refinance?

I have not had clients specifically try to refinance while living in a multi-family property.

One scenario would be buying and rehabbing the property with cash, and then doing a cash-out refinance to recoup the capital, versus buying the house with financing and then doing a subsequent refi.

One option might be to go the hard money route or some form of line of credit and then refinance out of it. 

My job was to bring in new business which meant existing customers seeking to refinance their mortgage loan would not count towards my target numbers.

For example, if you are doing a BRRRR (Buy Rehab Rent Refinance Repeat), then taking an extra month to complete means that you lose 1 months rent which might be another $1200!

You can do a rate term refinance out of the land contract into a conventional mortgage, FHA, or possibly others.
