Help! Investment Property Refinance - Cashflow or Equity?

Key Facts:

  • Current Mortgage Total Cash Outflow is $1846
    • 30yr @ 5.625%
    • P&I is $1,404.60
    • HOA is $220/mo
    • Taxes $222/mo
  • Rental Income is $1850

In late 2007 my wife and I got married and bought our primary home (perfect timing to buy a place /s!). It's a 4/2 Condo in Miami. Surely enough it went underwater by ~50%, but being the responsible people that we are we held on to it and property values now in 2019 mean that we have a little bit of equity ~70-75 LTV.

We moved out of that property in 2011 and have rented it out ever since, and just recently we became cash flow neutral (enough to cover P&I , Taxes, and HOA).

I'm thinking of refinancing it, but I have doubts about going to a 20 year or a 30 year. Surely, the 30yr is more attractive since it would generate an extra ~$366/mo in cash flow.

Refinance offers

  • 30yr at 4.5% a bit high due to 1)investment condo and 2) Miami this would generate about $366 extra in monthly CF
  • 20yr at 4.25% this would generate an extra $135 extra in monthly CF

What an I missing or should consider further masters of reddit? Thanks!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
