My plan is to used some of the equity in that property to do this expansion, I got a rough estimate of the interest rate at 11.25%, is this normal and if not I would love to be connected to a bank/ broker that does HELOCs on investments at a lower rate. 

From my lender estimates, they would give me roughly 6.5 on the refi but taking another 70K for DP and reno for the 2nd home would put my monthly at around 1800/mo. 

It still won’t be perfect — projections never are — but hyper-localized estimates are the only way to tighten the gap between “spreadsheet math” and what actually happens on the ground.

The bank estimated taxes to be wildly high, something that both surprised us and caught us off guard.

Mortgage would be roughly 1300/month with insurance and taxes (before repair estimates).

The estimate I got from DIY Cost Seg was the highest.
