Personally I only use my HELOC on short term projects like flips, new builds and BRRRRs where I know I will be replacing the capital within months.You may be better off waiting a year and save up more cash or liquidate your index funds if the returns on a property will be better.

Many banks handling tax escrow accounts for mortgages have mistakenly thought there was one tax due twice/year or totally missed one of the taxes.Investors should research the SEV and the Non-Homestead property tax millage rates to project what the property taxes will be after adjustment.

Find yourself a good team who builds ADU's has a project management team and of course has all the licenses and insurances to protect your property.Quote from @Michael Adamo: Hi BP Community,I’m exploring adding one or two ADUs to a property I own in the Miracle Mile area, near 3rd Street and La Brea in Los Angeles.

Most lenders are going to want to see a few big things from the ownership group. 1) The borrower will be the enitity (LLC, S-Corp, etc) and any owner with usually 20% or more of ownership in the entity will be expected to guaranty the loan, 2) We'll want to see some experience doing similar projects from at least one of the main owners, 3) We'll want to see bank statements showing liquidity enough to cover the intial cash injection (down payment), the closing cost, and some cash in reserve.

My experience was excellent both projects were completed successfully, on time, and delivered solid returns.

Ensure the STR’s projected income comfortably covers new debt, even with conservative occupancy rates, and maintain reserves for market changes or vacancies.

Has anyone also finished a project since the new rules came to place but placed a tenant meanwhile before they had these?

Hey @Tyler Jahnke - can you provide an update on your Morris Invest project?  

I am a project manager currently working for a commercial General Contracting company and have a small contracting gig on the side I am working on ramping up, focusing on residential and commercial remodels & all demolition projects. 

Most focus on rate and amount of cash to close but bad loan administration or bad loan administration policies may cause the project to be far more capital intensive if viewed beyond day one of funding.
