I spoke with my lender and he told me FHA recently changed their rules...he said if I already own property then I can't get an FHA loan for a primary residence (even if I have 20% equity in the rental properties).

HI I purchased a home in a multi unit (R4), high density zone.I am currently renting the house cash flow is just $50 after mortgage payment.This house has a big workshop in the back with a high rise ceiling, brand new roof, electricity and water.It sets in a half an acre lot so I am able to rent the workshop and land for $700 a month Total cash flow on this property is $750 a monthI'd like to enclosed this workshop (it has 3 brick walls already built) and make it into a livable place.I can still rent the land and keep the cash flow at about the same amount ($700).However there's no sewer at this house just 2 septic tanks attached to the main house.Workshop will need:windowsanother walldoorscooling and heating systemBathroom etc...I can build build more units attached to the current workshop since there's so much land to play with but i have no idea of the cost.I purchased this home for $150k in 2016I owe 143Klast month I paid for an appraisal and the current value is at $185(flooring was the only improvement at the house).Question is should I refinance and bring in sewer line, build more units or live it the way it is?

simply look were you live in Milwaukee.. and look at all those great 30's and 40s houses on the north side of town you can buy for under 100k but it would cost 400k to rebuild them.. in those areas building new just wont happen until things change demographically and if it does not pencil for you doubt you can sell it to any one else.. so the smaller project maybe what you do.. then at some point in the future where economics catch's up.. you demo the small improvements and go vertical.
