You bring up an excellent point about using retirement funds and it being allotted to the taxable income investors.

Should I make an introductory video of myself and post that?

I see a lot of van life videos, but always wonder what you pay per night to park it and hook up utilities?

Hi Everyone,After countless of hours of research, video, biggerPocket podcast I bought my first home a year ago with the idea of refinancing to tap into equity to buy a second investment home (with the goal of renting second home)Some numbers:Current Home:Loan $240,000 @2.875% CONV (Purchased in 2020 for $310,000) Monthly payment ~$1.4kEstimated Value as Today $436,000I'm looking to take advantage of the equity to use as down payment for 2nd home, I looked at refinance rate today and ran some number with 80% LTV and they seemed higher than my current rate.

If it in an area with excellent appreciation then it would be worth keeping the minor negative cash flow with the expectation that the rent/value will rise considerably. 

They were excellent! 

Or you can tell the tenant that it's his fridge so he can use it and take it with him.If a renter is otherwise excellent, I'll show a little grace with a stern warning.

@Eddie Torres Right now what I’m approved for would be excellent for when the market is average.

fwiw, I am quite proficient in Excel (have some experience with data analytics, pivot tables, formulas, macros, etc.) so I could likely easily manage a small database of leads by myself just with Excel…and create my own dashboards etc. but anyone using something in particular that they enjoy?
