Before I refinance the HELOC, what are other rates our there? Which lender should I explore?

Hey Jawei,
I'm a real estate broker and investor here in Sacramento. I manage over 100 STR and MTR properties (STR is not allowed currently for ADU's, but MTR is, and great way to maximize the income, unless you're using it for family or office purposes.)
I recently constructed an ADU in the backyard of a property within the city from a detached garage. Relatively simple, not terribly expensive. Expect to pay $120-170 per square foot since it's an existing structure. Much less complicated / expensive than building from the ground up.
Yes, you're correct about the unincorporated County area, so the County is the authority, not the City.
I know a couple of great ADU specialists in the area if you need any recommendations. Best to work with an expert if you want to do everything legit. You'll pay a little more up front, and avoid headaches down the line.
Hope this helps :)
Hi Noah, Can you provide the ADU Specialist that can do garage conversation for 120-170 in Sac? Thank you.
