What would be my best route to take if we need additional finances?

All this in addition to 6 other lease violations... 

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.

In most single family zoned areas adding a single ADU is not a value add meaning it will not add more value than the hands off cost of the addition.  

Principal balance currently at 314kProperty Details: It's essentially a "2-in-1" property, with the main unit rented out for $1,900/month and an attached ADU bringing in an additional $1,200/month.

But this comes with pockets of C/D neighborhoods, and higher potential for headaches;  in addition, appreciation in these zips has probably maxed out for a while.

Yes, I’ll check with regional building, but curious for additional thoughts here.

Many also flag mailing addresses that differ from the property address, which can indicate a rental or second home.Skip Tracing Services: If you’re looking for contact information for non-owner-occupied properties, skip tracing tools can provide additional details like phone numbers and emails.

Additionally, your brother would inherit your cost basis for the gifted portion, potentially leading to higher capital gains taxes if he sells later.

My goal is to live in the home during the winters, maybe 3-4 additional weeks for vacation, then rent it out to help cover the mortgage the rest of the year.
