@Matthew Jones - So you believe the cost of this addition will be less than the resulting appreciation? And then you have a means of tapping into that value (like with a HELOC or by selling) that will create more cash for investing than you already have to put towards the addition in the first place? And this is all better than just using that existing cash to invest directly?
