If you want to send me a little clearer detailed breakdown in a PM I can help you out with what I know.

Chris is very right here. Be careful you don’t do more harm than good. Something that may benefit you in the short term by increasing rental potential could harm your long run goals by killing your chances of appreciation because you broke a small lending rule you didn’t know about. Regardless, I’d talk to a construction professional on the zoning, and a mortgage professional on the trivialities of the process. I am located in Granada Hills and my mortgage and real estate brokerage is in downtown LA. Send any questions you may have over my way in a PM and I’ll see if I can be of any help.

Hi Paul, I run a real estate and mortgage brokerage based in LA. I’d love to get in touch some time and go over the options. Always happy to help a hungry investor, regardless if we end up working together or not. Feel free to reach out in a PM.

Just saw you are not specifically looking for a financial planner in the comment. Would still be more than happy to assist with any information I can. Feel free to reach out.

We have a financial services department that can assist you with retirement planning/annuities/and other wealth building strategies. Feel free to reach out through a PM any time you’d like to talk.

I did and responded. Let me know if you got it.

Hi and welcome to BP Juan. This place is an amazing forum for all financial questions. For your case specifically, I feel I may be able to provide some advise.

Hi Sheeva, I am a mortgage and real estate broker out of LA. If you’d like, I can take a look over your case and give my advice. We work with a number of people who have interesting financial situations and can usually find something to work it out. Feel free to PM me and we can talk. Happy to help even if you don’t use my brokerage going forward.

Andrew Postell is absolutely right. They will be requiring you show them proof of “alternative credit” such as utility bills, rental payments, even education costs sometimes. Anything that would be a reoccurring charge that proves you have a good history of paying what is required of you.

Shoot any questions you have over to me in a pm. I’d be happy to help.
