Because I'm not an accountant or versed in tax code and law wouldn't I want a CPA to ensure everything is legally tight and as advantageous as it can be? 

And Jerry is a Wyoming attorney, so you can trust his legal advice! 

I understand this is not a requirement, but I have never received a damaged unit from an inherited tenant or any legal issues.

Quote from @Tod DuBois: Another Furnished Finder POT cancelled on me after I went out of my way and paid to review them on Key Check and signed up for Key Check contracts, made two contracts, allowed a pet and still, two days before the check-in, they did not sign.

The commitment letter also stated there will be contracts and other documents to sign but that never happened.- When I called the brokerage admin to let them know I had quit the team and to change my status to solo agent, they said their system shows me as a solo agent and that the TL never submitted paperwork to add me as being part of their team.

I’m looking to access some of the equity in the home to buy out my ex-partner, and my goal is to either convert the house into a multifamily property or add a dwelling unit (ADU).I’d love to hear any advice from the community on the best way to approach this, particularly in terms of financing options, legal considerations, or any similar projects you've completed.

Here's an example of a property I have under contract and my comps on it.

Quote from @Jeremy Jareckyj: Anything rented for longer than 30 days is legally considered a long-term rental.

Once under contract you do significant more due diligence to verify the data you have been given.

Go as high as you can go legally. 4.
