With 100 homeowners who received a cost estimate only 5 remained in the program due to costs of a single conversion climbing up to $1M...it's just not worth it.https://citylimits.org/2023/03/13/in...about-cellars/If there was something in place that was more affordable, I'm sure more homeowners would be willing to take this route, myself included, to meet the city standards.

House hacking in Austin is a cost-effective real estate strategy.

Repair costs & credits aside, 203K is a more costly loan that will cut into your equity.

There's < 2 months of seasoning for the purchase, cash into the deal is ~$975k w/o rehab (minimal planned so far - turnkey), purchased the property for 35-40% below assessed value, 825+ FICO, and would optimally like to pull out $975K-$1.15M of equity.Main scenarios we've thought of to accomplish this are: 1) structure sale of property from SMLLC to self and secure 30-year new purchase financing on deal (unsure if legal and tax implications if above initial cost basis)2) delayed financing (LTV restrictions a concern)3) cash out refi (seasoning concerns)4) DSCR (seasoning and rate competitiveness concerns)5) one of the above plus a HELOC, personal loan, etc.?

Yearly net cashflow after absolutely all costs and a margin of safety should be between $15,000 - $20,000.Lessons learned?

Is there a way to accurately evaluate the repair cost of this kind of issue?
