UPDATED STRATEGYBased on input thus far, here is my updated strategy:Use cash and a construction loan (if needed) to build and rent a 4th conventional unitRefi at conventional rates (original mortgage + construction loan + up to $900K cash out for a 4-plex)Build and rent 2 ADUs using cash outBuild and rent basement ADU with HELOC, construction loan, or cash outStart an ADU building business (there are at least 1,000 homeowners like me in Berkeley - I will meet each one) BRRRR small properties or syndications to cut my teeth with any remaining cash outConsider whether selling or exchanging makes sense once all rents are seasonedUse accumulated cash flow to buy smaller properties or syndications to establish teams in key citiesKeep my eyes peeled for jumbo cash out loans to enable much larger RE investments down the roadShield all RE investments from liability stemming from potential catastrophic losses to highly leveraged triplex in CaliforniaLastly, it will take a while but I intend to report back with successes and lessons learned as I move down my bucket list.
