I want to do the wisest thing that will not negatively affect my prospects for deal funding in the near future.

In practice I would have done better than this because I take money out when the opportunity allows for doing so without much negative consequence (I never refinance into a significantly higher interest rate). 

In exchange for that possible high return, you take the chance of a low or negative return.   

This will negatively impact your ability to qualify for any kind of reasonable house payment.Secondly, if by some chance you do qualify for a mortgage, you've now got not only a mortgage payment to make and current life expenses to pay, you've also got several months (years?)

A lot of hard money guys put things that can negatively effect you in the contract.

You look at the opportunities and not the NEGATIVITY.

This may be a deliberate attempt to wipe out the small businesses. mark Twain once said, there are lies, there are damn lies, and then there are statistics.

Nothing  like negative press to make someone move.
