Looking for advice on my options - 1.

Another option is a lease with option to purchase.

@Evelyn J Good Painting cabinets can be a great option but if you want good results it is not always as easy as some would have you believe.

If there's a part of the job that does not require a license and will not be inspected by the city (such as finishes) I as the project manager have the option whether or not I will give that portion of the job to the GC or farm it out. 

I would like to hear opinions on cash out refi, keep two rentals, and acquire the third home that i would live in, or sell the one rental to use equity to acquire my next home (which i would live in) and rent out the home im currently living in which will be paid off in 4 years, leaving me with one rental property instead of two.Thanks for reading Hi Wyatt,I would say the best option would be to cash out refinance the property you currently live in into a commercial loan like a DSCR loan and use the money to purchase your next home.

The RV was parked next to a guys house with a 'clothing optional pool' but that's another story....

I agree with the wholesale option or hiring an agent to post on MLS.

The other option is to rent but to hire someone to manage your rentals.

Should I maybe suggest he try syndication or even a lease-to-own option? 

I would think the best option for you is to try to get around as many likeminded people as you can and be active on these forums.
