You are asking for a lot
To get a deal, with location and needs.
You need a good place to live for your Mom so she is close to supermarket restaurant may be park.
Find the best place for your Mom and yes work on the financing.
Is not only how much you paid, you need to pay right base on you resources.
Find a good realtor that knows the market.
good luck

Simple,
Buy income property, and business first. With the cash flow you pay the house, the car the living expenses.
Your house is not an investment. It gives you plenty of savings, tax benefits, lower you expenses etc.. But does not give you money in fact is an expense.
Still is a great del you rent money for 30 year fix rate and the asset increase of value with time.

ears. I still owe about $238k on the house (I am paying around $2k per month including escrow) and the bank says it appraise for $850-900k so plenty of equity to borrow. After doing a quick search..I get numbers around 9 to 10% interest for these HELOC loans that I found insane. Any ideas or recommendations as to where to go for financing this kind of project."
Agustin,
Heloc is prime plus 1% or 2%, that is today's rate. Personally, Heloc is the best loan possible. You are in control you put the rent money in and that money generates 9% compound interest. Tell me a saving account that cand do that for you.
Boss do more research in company credit fund-capital or Heloc vs Loan math.
At the end depends on you, if you don't have cashflow or time of capital that you don't use ... you can't take advantage of Heloc..
Um Abrazo

"You're preaching to the wrong choir here. They just look at cash flow, so day 0 metrics. They don't think that far ahead."
We are in Miami Insurance is the concern.

You need a POWER TEAM that has knowledge and experience.
This not buying a house, is another type of business.

go to local Investor clubs, you will find people that is doing it know, you can ask them for advice and share your knowledge in Airbnb.
Buying Multifamily is a business. Would you open a restaurant Just with a good chef?

Find investors club
Many investors, wholesalers and developers go there you can find a group to work with.
There is a big difference. Learning the theory or the real practical part of the business. YOU need to be in the game to play the game.
Bigger pockets is a great source of information.
