That's ~12% Cash on Cash return which seems pretty good/decent.My concerns are by doing this, it would reduce my rent price on the main house (most likely since they'd be sharing with other tenants on the property) and also I'm unclear whether adding an ADU would negatively affect the value of the property.Option 2Consider converting the property into a short/medium-term rental, specifically to travel nurses.

We could sell the old house and net at least $175-200k (after costs of selling -- this is a hot market) and would put that toward the new mortgage (reducing our monthly payment and interest costs).Alternatively, we can rent it at an amount that covers mortgage, taxes, and insurance, but not much more than that.

We've been including a lot of seller concessions to reduce the cash to close.
