I am looking to buy again in the next six months.Here’s the situation:I own a home in San Diego, currently worth about $1.05 million once the ADU is built.I owe $680k on the mortgage at 4.25%, with monthly payments around $5,500.The property generates $7,500 in monthly income: $5,200 from the main house as a vacation rental and about $2,300 from the ADU as a mid-term rental.My broker is advising me to do a cash-out refinance and switch to a DSCR loan, then move the property into my LLC.I’m hesitant because current interest rates are around 8%, and I was originally considering a HELOC due to these high rates.Given the high rates, would you recommend sticking with the HELOC, or does the DSCR loan make more sense in the long run?

The rate that you are at right now is, I would expect, the main factor limiting cashflow.
