Many investors are successfully renting out their ADUs to short term travelers.

Is it best to just throw cash flow at the loan untill the principal is paid off (current cash flow between the two properties after interest and all expenses are paid plus vacancy rate = about $250 left monthly) refinance at renewal to pay it back in full? 

I would get an attorney or title company involved to create your loan documents to ensure they comply with the law and cover all the aspects you need.Another method that is likely your best bet to take on investors is to create a joint venture (JV).

Managing a property can be incredibly rewarding, but it does come with its fair share of challenges—especially with the recent shifts in Rhode Island legislation.In 2024 alone, 39 bills were introduced, and seven significant ones passed, including extended rental terms, mandatory fee disclosures, and other updates that every landlord should have on their radar.

The only exception might be if you plan to and if your market supports short term rentals.

If I have several options, I would prefer a HELOC with no initial draw requirements (i.e. to establish a literal line of credit that I have no specific short term plans to use), i.e. not something like the better.com HELOC. 

@Robert EllisAre you leveraging construction-to-permanent loans or private funding?

Quote from @Burke Atkerson: With over a decade of real estate investing experience and over 100 flips, I now provide private money & hard money loans.

Because of this, most buyers come with cash or use short term seller financing.
