@Ben Be Congrats on making the decision to dive in!

As a former engineer who decided to pursue real estate investing/agency full-time, you are making a great decision. 

I would still weigh your decision heavily on service- if you are in this for the long haul, you need a relationship with a lender who will go to bat for you!

This will be our first property and we trying to make the most informed decisions.  

Among the factors that influenced the court's decision were the limitations on the co-owners' ability to sell, lease, or encumber either the co-ownership interest or the underlying property, and the manager's effective participation in both profits (through the remarketing fee) and losses (through the advances).

Will def keep you posted on final decision.

I would base your refinance decision on "need for the money" more than worrying about interest rates.

Hi Tony,Congrats on making the decision to get into real estate flipping.
