You really need to understand the value of the problem.In order to maintain low property taxes and avoid reassessment during the course of trust administration you'll need to obtain a "fiduciary mortgage" to the trust.If you take the property out of the trust, even temporarily to refinance, or to buy out the other beneficiaries, you'll trigger reassessment.Fiduciary mortgages will also limit you to borrow only about half the current value, less any existing liens and mortgages, if any.

Me personally, though, I don't like to try to swim upstream ... too much work for not enough reward.

Can you refi any of your existing investments and pull out the equity to do this deal?

Cash flow is nearly non existent but if you can hold onto property over time you should be able to make a to considerable value gains.

Will you need to find a place for yourself to own or rent, or will you need to cover the existing mortgage of your current home?

If nothing exists now and this is a new unit, the contractor will have to install a switch and whip or pipe to power it in addition to venting the fan to the roof.

Create an interesting walkway with spme type of pavers, not just concrete.Unless it's in horrible shape, leave the existing siding, and paint it in a bright color (it works wonders on a tiny house), and an appropriate entry door in a contrasting but complementary darker color.

The existing tenant can't be included on that deal; it would just be you and the bank.

Because we sit on a hill, water was passing over the existing swale and coming into the basement.
