You’re a woman, which means you’re smart, resourceful, resilient, strong, organized and efficient.

But you, you're smart!

I was wondering if it would be even a remotely smart option to do a cash out refinance to get money for another downpayment on an investment, or do you think I should sell the house completely and reinvest the equity elsewhere?

A smart move would be to reach out to the lender that has the note on your current home and speak to a loan officer there. 

Smart, excellent negotiator, great people instincts, communicates the way I want.It does not matter what car they drive, what they look like, or the bells on the website.

How/what are smart ways to plan and execute my ambition?

We're installing Internet in our buildings in order to offer smart devices for use by the tenants for an additional fee of $30 per month.

However, 40k seems like it can go right if invested smartly.

.…………….SHOULD I1 - Use my 250K for a down payment to buy a state of the art /new home 3/3/2 larger property; kitchen island, smart house, 2 car garage and extremely large rooftop deck, a block from the beach with a HOT HOT market for a house for $875K that will significantly increase in cost as they are building new restaurants and breweries in the area making it extremely desirable and pay 4K monthly (already pre-approved)or2 - Buy a 2-4 unit plex somewhere inland that is not as nice as the market in San Diego is high for 2-4 units and live in one unit and rent the others.Please advise as I want to have the most cash flow, but also want to have a bigger place for my 2 kids that is near the beach that is atleast 3 bedroom.Is there anything else I should be looking at for now?

@Greg Dickerson Thats really smart.
