Hello Chris and welcome to BiggerPockets!

I'm in St.Petersburg and an investor/lender.

I am also a rookie investor and looking at buying primarily Multifamily and would house hack.

Anyone here recently refinanced an underperforming rental and saw cash flow jump?

I’m an active real estate investor and operator looking to connect with others in the Tucson market.
