A cash-out refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a new home loan for more than you owe on your house. The difference goes to you in cash and you can spend it on home improvements, debt consolidation or other financial needs. You must have equity built up in your house to use a cash-out refinance.

What happens to your money when you buy a property?
Once a property is paid off, the property cash flows $800/month. That’s because there is no longer mortgage and interest to be paid. If you have the max 4 properties, the $30,000 initial investment goes towards paying down one of the loans.
