It is not guaranteed.Borrowers ask me all the time if they can access equity they don't yet have. 

We would now like to increase our access to cash via a HELOC that incorporates the new ADU in the appraisal. 

I have one rental property and looking to expand.

Are you interested in getting MLS access and access to look at all of the vacant properties first as an investor who has a license? 

The last thing you want to do is spend the money for a conversion and then get shut down by the neighbors or city.Is there another way to access these bedrooms other than the garage?

I have heard so many stories about this people accessing properties and starting to place so many no sense violations. 

VRBO was not a great experience.For a single unit, I wouldn't sweat the details too much unless you plan on expanding quickly.

You may have to sell the whole property to access the funds in the IRA or 401k when you retire. 

Jensen & Co have a solid reputation for working with investors like us.Don't foget to update any necessary disclosures and think about getting landlord insurance if that's not already on your radar.By the way, if you're ever curious about expanding your investments beyond Oregon, I've been helping investors tap into markets like Phoenix and Austin; some exciting opportunities out there.

It'll take some explaining for those not familiar with Access, but it's pretty dang cool.
