Howdy folks,

    I currently have a VA loan on a property that I used to live in, but moved overseas for about 5 years and have been renting it out.

    Since then the rental property value has made a significant jump ($250k to around $360k give or take). The current VA loan interest rate is a 3% 30 year fixed.

    My question is: Does it make sense to do a cash out refinance (VA to conventional loan on the existing house) and throw the equity into a multi-family home where I reside in one of the units for a year?

    That being said, is it possible to then take out a VA loan again on a 3rd multifamily property where I reside in one of the units?

    Assuming a 7% loan on the refinance my rental mortgage should be about $2400 on an $360k loan; the house currently rents for $2000 and have had zero issues finding tenants. (I'm near multiple military installations, BAH here is $2300 for an E5 with dependents)

    From an investment stand point, what would you do in this situation? It just seems like a waste to sit on so much equity and not do something with it.

    Thanks so much!

      It sounds like an absolute goober move to cash out refinance from a 3% to 7%. Injecting unneeded risk into a stable, inflation adjusted return
