-This will be my primary residence for the next 2-3 years. We came into the property with around $50,000 in equity. We will eventually refinance if/when the rates do come down to put us in a better cash flowing position. This is a longer term buy and hold for us that fit our current lifestyle in what I believe is one of the fastest growing markets on the east coast (Charleston SC)
