Former Primary Residence - 200k Equity - Cash out Refi or Sell?

Former Primary Residence - 200k Equity - Cash out Refi or Sell?

Member since 2018 · 2 posts · 0 votes

Looking for some suggestions on my first property. I've owned about 10 years. Paid 80k. 8 years remaining on 15 yr conventional @ 2.99% and $49,500 left on the mortgage. I have just completed the following: New roof, new tile floors, 2 new bathrooms, quartz countertops. Basically everything. Nothing needs to be done. Valued at about $250-260k on the local market (Broward County, Florida). The unit is currently vacant as I complete renovations. This is no longer my primary but I do fall within the 2 out of 5 rule in regards to the tax situation. 

This townhouse will get about $1700-1850 per month rent. 

P&I + Escrow + HOA = $1,265

Would refinancing to a 30 year loan with higher interest and cashing out about 100-120k for a triplex/quadplex be a good path? Should I sell and take the 185k or so after RE commission?

On a side note, my partner has a duplex and we are getting ready to construct a new duplex on the same plot of land (total of 4 units), so it is in our goals to have additional properties and cash flow, but is it worth the lengthy loans?


Thanks in advance!

    @Matthew Silva, That's awfully nice rent for the debt you have. That property will provide a nice NOI for a long time and pay off very quickly. Even as a return on equity it's not bad. As a return on asset it starts to lose some luster. But for this time in the market I like those numbers.

    But when you start talking about refinancing you really take a lot of your margin and cash flow off the table.  Now you only get dinged for the loan once.  So a refi to pull cash out and invest in another property will increase the yield of that property so that's a consideration. 

    But I'd be real tempted to sell and take the cash tax free now and use it to pump into that new construction.  Tax free is always high on my radar.

    Preliminary numbers look like $1350-1400 all in including (P&I,Escrow,HOA) with $100-110,000 cashed out. This is on a 30 yr @ 4.2 rate. This looks like roughly a $200 loss in cash flow for 100k cashed out.
