Now, my strategy has evolved into a combination of both. I did my first cash-out refinance this year and I did it into my LLC. With a cash-out refinance strategy, instead of selling, I am now able to use the equity appreciation to get cash to acquire more rentals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was over-leveraged on the second one that I bought in Phoenix, so I couldn&#8217;t have done cash-out 3 years later. That second one in Phoenix now has a valuation of $500k Zestimate, and the first one is now worth about $300k Zestimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only issue with doing cash-out in Phoenix at $500k is whether the new mortgage would have been covered by rent, in which case you might be better off selling it if you feel the market is at a peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There still has to be the cash flow, which takes precedence. Compared to in the Midwest where your mortgage is 25% or less of rents, on good deals. Lots of room to cash out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One lesson that I thought from a discussion with a friend is that with equity appreciation, you only get paid once, whether it&#8217;s those two former properties worth $800k now minus mortgage\/etc, vs cash-flow with leverage, where you&#8217;re planning to be making that every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With leveraged cash-out, you can keep taking out some equity as it appreciates, without having to sell, as long as there is still some cash flow from rents, after paying the new mortgage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To put it in context, from over the past five years where I was laser-focused on the cash-flow strategy, I didn&#8217;t even track my portfolio by the current valuation or equity only monthly cash flow. I now do for leveraged cash-out (refinance) into LLC, combining both strategies (equity appreciation, and cash-flow).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the first one I bought for $10k cash in South Bend IN, some five years ago, if it appraises for $40k, at 75% LTV that\u2019s a $30k cash-out, a 3x leverage on the original investment, hence \u201cLeveraged Cash-out\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to look at the leverage scenario is so you take that $30k as 75% on one property that appraises for $40K, as cash-out and you use that as 25% down on $80-100k multi-family investment, making higher cash-on-cash returns than typical cap rate buying cash. So that original 10k cash is leveraged over 10x\/times over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier, I wrote about how I went from Equity appreciation (Phoenix) 12 years ago, to Cash-flow (Midwest) 5-6 years ago.
