BRRRR Question - How does Refinance launch me forward?

I owe $17,000 on a Rental Investment (10/1 ARM) - Initial Loan Investment at $30,000. Current home value - $80,000. With the current interest rate hikes in mind, what do you recommend I do with the investment? The equity upside is much higher than cash flow.

Hi @Joshua Nicewaner   

In order to evaluate the efficacy of refinancing your rental you will need to provide a broker the following information:

1. Your credit score

2. Rent

3. Taxes and insurance

Because this is a small loan you will need to find a local bank or credit union. Hard money lenders will not lend under 100k. The property has to have a 1.25 debt service coverage for a bank or credit union. Most banks will shorten the term on a small loan so you may be looking at a 5-15. Or even a 10 year fixed. I would reach out to a broker or lender and see what loan amount and term your rent and credit support. Good luck,

Hard money loans below 100k are certainly possible.

If you're finding deals to close on take the cash out. Otherwise not a good time to refinance or sell
