Tons of rating factors that impact the price from one property to another.I say this without even considering coverage, service, and what you might want as there are usually choices to be made.Your best bet is to work with an independent agent that can provide advice along with multiple options for every scenario so that you can find the best value in each situation.

While using a QCD may encourage the Clerk to accept the deed for recording it won't help if the DOR decides to audit the information provided with the conveyance. 

A local RE professional should be able to provide this information to you as well.In New York, we deal with this scenario frequently and oftentimes it does not make sense to legalize ADUs because the permit process is extremely lengthy, the cost is high (sometimes $150-300K for 1 ADU unit), and the potential increase in property valuable is not worth the risk.If you already have an approved permit/plan and can get your renovation down to $80K, you may want to consider this project if the ARV is say north of $800K.** You should also look into any potential property tax increases associated with this change.

Like others have mentioned turnkey is a great option, there are several providers that operate east and north of you where the price points/rents are more favorable while laws remain landlord friendly.

As long as your credit is good you, if your HELOC rates go up, you should be able to rinse/repeat that "0% balance transfer" option every couple years until the debt is paid off.There are alternatives out there as wellLoan on your 401k or IRALoan on your stock accountDown payment assistance programs that provide all or some of the downpayment money.

An additional benefit of a detailed engineering-based Cost Segregation Study is that it can increase potential insurance premium savings as well as provide support for the property tax appeals process.

May states ca provide a good return/cash flow on a purchase price of $175K to $300K.

As soon as you know your final funds to close and the closing date, call whichever credit card company(s) that you'll be using and let them know that you'll be making a pretty significant purchase within the next few days.

I am available to answer any questions you may have regarding this disclosure and can provide documentation of my degree and employment if helpful.Sincerely,Jonathan C.
