I've been using the GE  GFW148SSMWW // GFT14ESSMWW models which comes to $1,650+ tax for units and stacking kit. 

Do you have a current need for that cash flow generated from the tax savings?

Zero capital gain tax, next to zero income tax, property Tax is super small.  

Ask for a line of credit.  

So if you have the property for a total of 10 years, moved in at year 8, little value or tax advantage.

Leverage Local ResourcesEconomic Development Grants: Check with your city or county for grants or incentives aimed at affordable housing or community improvement projects.Local Banks or Credit Unions: They may be more flexible than larger financial institutions, especially if your project aligns with community needs.Partnership with Nonprofits: Collaborate with organizations interested in affordable housing or sustainable living.4.

I let both of those properties just go for tax's I tired of the BS..

@Emily Gowen so as you pointed out you would not have to do a 1031 exchange on your current home to avoid the capital gains tax and coupled with what Dave Foster pointed out I think, speaking from experience you would have a high likelihood of success.
