The vast majority of mortgage pros I work with are just that, professional, qualified and operate in true fiduciary capacity.

You can check your building department, but sometimes you don’t need a permit for non load bearing walls.

This structural connection between the ADU and the main house typically requires engineering calculations to ensure proper load distribution and structural integrity.2. 

If you proceed with upgrading the panel add enough capacity to charge an electric car and put in baseboard heaters so you wont' have to do this again if you decide to add either of those options down the road. 

True, I never built anything more than a treehouse when I was eleven, but technically a treehouse is a house so…All I had to do was work with Honomobo to finalize the design, get architectural drawings, receive HOA approval, get a county building permit, get a driveway permit, clear trees for a build site, find a logging truck to take those trees to a lumber mill, find a mill, find someone to take the lumber from the mill to my house, dry the lumber, take a semester of woodworking to learn how to make furniture, engineer/permit/build a septic system, get a well permitted and drilled, install a well pump, learn what a pitless is, install a water line from the pump to the foundation, install a pressure tank, connect the house plumbing to the septic and pressure tank, get the the power company to permit and install a podium for power on site, run power to the foundation, connect the power to the house, engineer a foundation, excavate, get two different sized steel wet plates fabricated, pour said foundation with wet plates mounted all at the same elevation in twenty-five precise locations, hire a crane, hire rigger, hire a welder, build a retaining wall because the dropoff from house to ground level was higher than expected, insulate the crawl space on my own by watching a YouTube video to learn how to load .22 caliber cartridges into a ramstead gun and shoot two and a half inch nails through insulation board into my foundation, badger a supply company until they finally delivered the right insulation board, get them to take away the wrong insulation board they brought that was broken by the wind and scattered into pieces all over the property, find an illusive 3x3 foot crawlspace door, learn how to use a core drill to make a four and a half inch hole in my foundation to install a code required fan to vent the crawlspace that my engineer thought was a stupid requirement and failed to tell me about, figure out what the hell going on when the Honomobo project manager tells me the measurements you gave him of the now poured foundation are wrong, have a panic attack, review plans with engineer, realized the project manager was mistaken, scream into the void, get the last available short term rental license application that had a thirty-day expiration window to pass all inspections, coordinate all subcontractors needed on install day, check with the sheriff about parking semi-trucks on the road, rent a porta potty, rent a dumpster, have coffee and donuts for everyone, oversee the Honomobo install crew that didn’t need overseeing, pass a blower test, pass state inspection, pass septic inspection, build a wooden curb to cover protruding rebar for an unpoured patio, build a temporary front door landing that could theoretically be be permanent so as to pass final county inspection, get a certificate of occupancy, pass the county short term rental inspection on the very last day before it expired to get the very last available license so that I could rent the house to make money in order to no have immediately have to sell, pour the sidewalk and patio.

Single story so you don't have to worry as much about load bearing and weight.

If you use an Hard money for an investment it will be loaded with fee's pay points and high rate.Primary home is a simple DPA program either through the State, County or like CHENOA. 

Perhaps emptying it so that it can attract an owner occupied buyer is a good alternative or hiring a PM company to off load some of the work there for you.

You front loaded your capex expenses to the first year of ownership, the same way in my two examples my capex is on the back end.

You may drastically lower your living expenditures and increase your capacity to save for future investments by renting out some of your units while you live in others.Starting with a duplex or triplex is a sensible choice, given your aims and money.
