Just make sure that the 1st property still comfortably cash flows, factoring in ALL the expenses conservatively, after the cash out refinance.

@Mindy JensenI currently have a realtor sending me updates daily, along with checking all the retail sites (Loop Net, Redfin etc) I prefer to stay close to home as I like to self manage (4 plex in AZ have had for 4 years and still not comfortable with repair cost etc, on 2nd management co and its better, but everything else is here within 15 min of my home) any ideas of better searches?

If you are not comfortable doing that then hire an attorney.

They aren't being negative to you as a person, they are downplaying it to feel more comfortable in their mind.

I think I feel most comfortable using a website for the screening process at this point. 

The meetup was designed to get investor in the Lansing, Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids area, out of the office and into a local project.

I think I would feel more comfortable with a 30 year loan overall. 

I suppose it would depend if your title company would be comfortable with those changes during closing.

I am a realtor and she is very good at interior design so we make a great team.

Also, dont under estimate the value of picking out the design elements of the house.
