It is worth a few hundred bucks to save your house. 

Even if it is not a savings but close to a wash, I would still consider the refi because it would give me the ability to substantially increase the limits on my existing HELOC.

I’m 25 years old and I have been saving for about the last 2 years to be able to start investing in real estate.

The hedge funds, looking to maximize 12% annual redemption revenue, are very aggressive in Madison, Jefferson, Shelby, Baldwin and Mobile Counties.

However, if you purchase a primary residence in another state, look into their homestead exemption laws before you get tempted to claim thatMy husband and I are residents of Texas, we own a home in Georgia (although ours was a primary residence at the time, not a STR or LTR like yours will be), if we had claimed the homestead exemption in order to save on our property taxes we would have been required to change our residency to GA and pay state taxes.
