Early estimates for a cashout refi would put our monthly payments (PITI+HOA+PMI) up from ~$2100, to around $2500-2600 and we could potentially lower our interest rate by 0.25% (I’ve been advised this % drop doesn’t typically warrant a refi).Very appreciative of any thoughts or insights folks can add to help me round out my thinking and fill in any blind spots!

I can tell you that your rents are pretty spot on, you pretty much can't find any SFR's for under $800.

I’m just beginning my journey in real estate and would like for my partner to be supportive but don’t want to start all over at the age of 30.Tough spot.

During a move in inspection, you let the tenant call out deficiencies.if THEY call out scratches in the floor, you take a picture of THAT particular spot.

A comparable unit close by with full amenities, 24/7 security, electric control access gate, paved parking, etc for an RV wants $150+ for a small spot, $200 for large. 

The property has 3 floors with in unit washer/dryer, ample storage, intercom, central A/C and 2 deeded parking spots and is also within a 5 minute walk to the Roslindale Commuter Rail station.

That or when the residents demand we imeditately tow a person who parked in their spot.

@Natalie Kolodij, advice is spot on.  

One of my clients in the same spot did that and the lender was ok with that.

With tax ensentives, the second largest university in the country, and low unemployment rate, it's a great spot for long term rentals.
