In short, my long-term plan is to begin investing in SFH (much lower barriers to entry) or small MFH (Duplex, TriPlex, Etc) to raise capital and build my resume with the goal in mind of getting into larger MFH/Commercial properties as quickly as I can.

Even a quick ballpark of the numbers they were giving her meant a payback period of almost a decade without the NPV factored in.I told her not to do it.It would make more sense to take that 5K "closing cost" and drop it into paying off the current note's principal.

Perhaps update some appliances - lighting - etc. those things that are quick and easy and make things "pop"!
