@Michaela Hayes What about these projects would make it compelling for a lender to offer 100% financing?

Here are some financing options to consider:HELOC or Cash-Out Refi on Another Property – If you or your mom have equity elsewhere, this could be a more flexible and lower-interest option.Business Line of Credit – Since the property is in an LLC, you might qualify for a business LOC, which could cover construction costs.Private Money Lender – If you’re okay with 12-15% rates, a private lender could fund this as a short-term loan, especially if the guesthouse will generate strong income.Construction Loan – Some lenders offer short-term construction financing, which converts to a longer-term mortgage once completed.Seller/Partner Financing – Bringing in an investor or structuring a joint venture with someone willing to fund the build in exchange for a share of the income.Credit Card Stacking or Unsecured Business Loans – Riskier but could work if you need to bridge a gap until the unit starts cash flowing.Would love to hear more details—especially your timeline and expected rental income.

It’s a great way to maximize rental income while offering a unique solution to tenants.- Value-Add Investments: Beyond cosmetic upgrades, think about adding amenities like solar panels, EV charging stations, or smart home tech.

Here in FL a pool trumps all and having a spa feature built in offers additional ROI.
