Hey Chris, a few thoughts here.Considering that office is not attached to the house, I wouldn’t add any footage to the total home square footage; however, you could advertise that office space and amount of footage and amenities in your remarks.If you’re a Realtor or are using one for the sale, your local MLS may have fields dedicated to additional footage for other buildings on the property, such as ADU’s.The other point is that typically, perhaps depending upon location, a space needs to have heating to count in the square footage, which this office doesn’t have if I understand correctly.Consider contacting an appraiser to inquire about how they would handle this space on an appraisal, or a Realtor.

However, we typically use the FHA-203k loan because it involves a renovation, which I highly recommend if you are looking to really boost your equity and have the cost of the renovation wrapped into your loan with a VERY LOW AMOUNT OUT OF POCKET.I like the FHA loan, but honestly, the Fannie May Home Style is an even better product at this point because you just have to bring a bit more cash to the table 5% vs. 3.5% (w/ FHA), but you have a bit more flexibility.  

There were challenging grading issues and limited access from the street to bring in utilities.

So it's pretty hard to break 5% utilization. 

My two single family houses typically get rented out as mid term rentals under airbnb which offers good coverage and we have been happy with.

@Carter MayberryRefinancing your FHA loan into a commercial loan and transferring the property to your LLC is a solid strategy, but here are a few points to keep in mind:FHA typically requires a one-year ownership seasoning period before refinancing is permitted.

W what typically went wrong in your case? 

I know not typical on here to have such a little amount in loans but we enjoy great cash flow that we live on, have lots of flexibility in what we can do and have no concern about making payments if the economy were to take a dump.

You typically get the monthly payments but also backed by portfolio and not one note.

-As far as trying to sell land with no access, sometimes I've sold those to neighbors who want to increase their acreage, or utility companies, cities or other public entities who could use the piece for whatever reason.
