Here are some of my thoughts
- Realize that return in the short term, without a value add, will be poor or bad.
Competition for value adds is great.
competition for rehab flips is great.
historically buy n hold over long term has produced outstanding return.
ADUs are not a value add, but they can help the cash flow.
make sure you understand rental expenses; if you not familiar with the 50% rule then look it up.
Good luck
