Or is it more of an extra measure used to be more confident in a property's ability to cash flow?

I realized that this type of deal carry an extra layer of stress since I was working with family and I want to make sure they got good value but at the end we had a great product, sold for more than originally expected and everyone was happy.

Close took a few extra weeks, but so have all my other loans in the last year. 

I added an extra $175/month in cash flow with very little cost (I think it was like $2,200 for the refi).

I'm a light user of these social media platform but somehow today felt extra productive.

In full transparency, I have zero real estate experience however would love to meet others who could use some extra help.

You'd get your VA loan paid off, would have it on a traditional mortgage and have an extra 10k-ish to use.

If this is the case, you could move to a commercial carrier and it may remove the extra charges. 

You don't want to increase the rate on $500k worth of loan in order to pull an extra $10-20k for example.
