I also have a primary residence that I'm going to turn into a rental and buy a new primary residence.

- Do I need to look at Zoning to rent a portion of my primary residence? 

Similar to @Elizabeth Southall I'm looking to tap into my equity on my primary residence here in the Bay Area in hopes to fund my next purchase.

I’ve been learning about the industry / different regional markets for the past few years and am eager to execute my first deal in the near term and continue growing through this community.My primary goal is to purchase a property I can live in while generating rental income (e.g., a single-family home with a tiny house, a duplex, or a single-family property where I can install a tiny house).

. - The commercial property is in an LLC, we get K-1s from the LLCs taxes every year showing that the LLC pays for the expense and is cashflow positive; except for the deprecation we take :) I plan on buying a new primary residence in the next 1-2 years and want to know if I need to have the commercial loan adjusted so that its no longer personally guaranteed.

What is your primary reason for wanting to pay off the mortgage? 

Using your primary to invest has been done but understand the risks.

Quote from @Brad Neihardt: I want to rent out my primary property that I bought.

If you occupy the property as your primary residence, you can  potentally do a HELOC or fixed second mortgage up to 90% CLTV.
