I have talked to a Loan Broker about doing a cash-out refi. 

If you want to talk, hit me up.

Continuously educate yourself about real estate and investment strategies.

Jesse,Are you talking residential properties, commercial etc.?

Weaknesses: Rookie, underwriting / running numbers, work full time (from home). let me buy you a coffee and talk shop? 

I'd suggest talking to a few local lenders in the area.

If I continue to pay the mortgage in the the seller's name (with out refinancing) would they claim the mortgage interest tax deduction or do I get to claim that since I am paying the mortgage and hold the deed to the property. 

The best way to market land comes down to the type of land we're talking about and where it's located.

I’m partial to Metro Phoenix as I’ve lived and invested here since I graduated from ASU a few decades ago.So many different options for investing…and our economy continues to grow. 

@Karen Margrave - The person you want to talk to is Seth Williams here on BP.
