@Christina Hernandez If I were in this position I would consider leveraging a portion of the equity to buy another property.

Building permits, a leading indicator of future construction activity, were up by 1.5% to 1.80 million units.Rent costs rising over the past few years could finally be hitting the consumer's wallet in that they are becoming weaker and unable to afford higher rents.Also, looking at the housing starts data, new supply may be entering the market finally, causing prices to drop as consumers have more options. 

Sometimes our cleaner doesn't get to the house until the day after if there isn't a guest coming the same day.We also allow early check in if the house is empty and ready to go.We don't charge for either of these options.

I would think about other options.1) Extension with current lender.2) Sell/rent - depending on the condition ?

I wouldn't overwhelm yourself with options.

With BRRRR numbers a bit harder these days, it seems that would be a decent option to explore for total ROI and CoC return if you aren’t planning to take on more than 1 project at a time. 

If your plan is to operate an STR in CA, it is best to have a plan B in case the STR option is no longer available.Good luck

If it's a Mainstream bank like WF, BofA, Chase they'll likely be most worthwhile on a plain vanilla primary purchase, and provide a good frame of reference as you shop for mortgage options.

My partner and I now find ourselves in a strong financial position to start our RE investing journey and have set our sights in New England, specifically Rhode Island due to the excellent natural environment and our desire to ultimately relocate there long-term. 

Another option is to consider building a detached adu if feasible.
