We run a free predictive analysis for anyone that wants one to see if it even makes sense for them and approach it in a consultative manner and we welcome our clients to have their CPA's join the conversation.I'm not an expert in this field, yet.

@Bob OkenwaYep, that makes sense to me.

I would like to pull out equity from the homes to build either a house on each or an ADU (they are zoned multi-family) depending what makes the most sense on returns and what is feasible.

@Troy Gandee Makes sense.

A refi makes more sense if you plan to hold the property long-term as a rental.

Hope all of that makes sense but post more if you would like. 

. :)Yes, that does all make sense.

I appreciate the reminder as well that if the gain is fairly low then it may make more sense to just pay the capital gains taxes now versus 1031 exchange. 

If we become heavily restricted, what chance does the rest of the DMV have to get their own regulations that make sense?

Everything was progressing smoothly until I met the appraiser to provide access to the property.Right away, I sensed something was off.
