"One other thing to consider is to check if refinance in your state is recourse or non-recourse loan."

Huh? Why would they need to consider recourse versus non-recourse unless they plan on defaulting? I read the word "sell" not "default". 

Also... in 50 states of this union refinancing will change a non-recourse loan to recourse so what exactly are they supposed to check?

To Jaylor,

You need to figure out what your long term plan is. Actually, it sounds like a short term plan would do. You have defined 3 different scenarios in your short post and all require a different plan of attack.

A) Sell
B) Refinance
C) Refinance to pay off debt

In either case you need to speak with a professional about your options as they will differ based on your specific situation.

Find a Realtor for "A" (May I suggest, not Yo Yo)
Find a good loan officer for "B" and "C".  

PS, Bellevue is cool, is Joe Tess Fish still there? Great stuff!

Refinancing costs money. It usually takes 2 or more years to break even.

If you are going to sell do not refinance now. If you are going to refinance make it a long term loan not for a short time.
