Quote from @Carl Rowles: An interesting situation.

I hope everyone is well, I came here because I need expert advice from you guys, let me tell you my situation: I have a investment property that i purchased 2 years ago and is valued at 65k that does not have any mortgage and that is already paid off, I want to use that property to buy another one for down payment , the question here is: What is the best way to do it. a heloc or a cashout refinance and why. your response will be appreciated :)

With permit, benefits are 1) get depreciation and other tax write off benefits since it’s a permitted investment purpose ADU, 2) probably better for resell value, 3) have a separate address and don’t have to bother sorting out mails for our legal tenant, etc. without permit; benefits are 1) no hassle to get the permit, 2) no permit fees, 3) no tax on rental income (as it is more like a “roommate”)Has anyone gone through a similar situation before?
