Quote from @Lisa Albright: Hi All,Newbie here, just a quick question we are building an addition on our second home, we have a primary residence, and two rental properties.

I know hosts have included additional cleaning fees for violations as a deterrent.If none of these solutions work, you could look into completely independent HVAC systems for the two units, though that would be a bigger upfront investment.

I have about $100k in capital reserves and can leverage the 2 properties for additional capital, as needed.

I haven't heard of the ability to add additional $250k primaries, but I'll have to dig in to try to learn more about that!  

OF COURSE the Contractor is going to say you need to tear it all out and rebuild the wall(s)  because that's the absolute easiest solution and adds additional work for him.

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential.

I heard that you would need to get neighborhood approval in addition to the city approval... 

Absolutely you can, I rolled over my IRA into a fund making double-digit returns. 

Some carriers won't allow insured to be a trust, so in that case do it in your company name with trust as additional insured.

@Ryan VienneauAre they able to set-up your credit cards as additional "accounts payable"?
