Good News:My equity has increased approx $35k in the propertyI recently refied down from 5.35% to a new rate of 2.99%This should save approx $9000 a year while paying approx $2500 more principle so an $11,500 benefit.This should push things into a positive cash flow going forwards.Lets see how the next few years go with the new financing.Cheers...phil
