Separate HVAC systems are a good idea too—makes things easier for tenants and utility billing.I’d also recommend talking to a contractor or local utility company about what’s needed for separate power meters and mailboxes.

Would it be a good idea to refinance and get access to that equity, or don’t and keep the favorable interest rate?

I dont think its a terrible idea to post to sites now that say updated photos coming soon.

Your idea of using a second home mortgage for house hacking is both creative and practical, especially given your flexibility.
