Aloha Rolan, I agree with everyone who has posted so far.

I also agree with the other post on comparing actual MLS sales that have ADUs close to your area vs the cost of the addition.

It’s costing you thousands of dollars post-tax plus wrecking your DTI. 3) sell your current home tax free and buy a duplex or fourplex.4) AGAIN: figure out the ownership structure and the breakup structure.

If you are interest to read any other of the “How To” posts that I write check out the others listed below.

I was hoping to cash out refinance and come out with around $800k cash on hand post principal repayment.

I apologize for the kind of vague post, but I don't know what I don't know yet. :) Thank you!

I'm a bit late seeing this post, but wanted to throw in my two cents since this is where I live! 

I created a post with some PROs and CONs on the business.

As mentioned in above posts you still can build a fantastic portfolio that can serve you and your family for generations to come.
