I have had a HELOC on my primary residence for years and have exercised it multiple times to support investment purchases.

CA put some strict copper theft rules in place.. 

I like the idea of a HELOC on your primary residence but believe the new tax rules will impact that on a taxable basis. 

Personally, in Atlanta, I'm more comfortable with Class B properties while I'm starting out.As far as calculating a CAP rate, starting with the 1% rule seems to work for initial triage. 

Due to Florida Real Estate rules, I can't have two DBA attached to the LLC that is the current brokerage corporation (the commercial firm).

So are you saying that its a good rule of thumb to compare the 50% rule cash-flow to the calculated cash-flow, and if the calculated cashflow is lower than the 50% rule cashflow then it's a good indicator of the property?

In our area they care I got caught between the new rules and it cost me a 19k fine plus the clean up of another 20k on a house that if I demo it a year before would have cost 10k or so total.. ..

Will the numbers support you replacing the carport/garage?

As a general rule, don't ask Accountants legal questions and don't ask your lawyer tax questions.
