The first thing you want to do is make sure your debt to income ratio works out.

Add all your monthly payments (both houses) car, etc.

Then add up gross income (before taxes) and rental income.

The rule of thumb is that your debt needs to be less than half your income.

As long as you have sufficient equity in the property and everything else is inline you should be OK.

Happy funding, Rudi

I wouldn't want to live in a mortgage either.

Refinancing a property which operates at a loss is not uncommon.   It is not probelmatic as long as your other income is sufficient to support your current housing obligation, other expenses, and the monthly loss as indicated on your Schedule E.

How much is your current loan balance and how much is estimated property value?    That will be the first main factor to determine if refinance is realistic.
