I would look at the DSCR loan as the first option.By the way, I suspect you are going to be disappointed by any refi appraisals   ADUs typically appraise poorly   JADUs can lower the property value Vs having the space as part of the primary unit.  

There's no need for me to keep asking for a response because their lack of responsiveness hurts them and rewards me.You aren't going to like every tenant, and should count your blessings that two of them are really good.

One thing I’ve realized about real estate is that it’s less about “knowing everything” and more about figuring things out as you go.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

The problem is no one book is going to be detailed enough for your specific state and county.Right here on BP there are lots of discussions about tax liens.
