New to Bigger pockets - New to Investing

[Kevin Robert Highgate]

Hello Everyone,
Let me say it out LOUD . IM DONE !!!!! 9-5 !!!!! I do not want to do this anymore !!! I have been in the books and came accross Bigger Pockets, i would like to dive head first into real estate investing but the un known is a little scary. I own a single family home in Socal that my wife and i currently living in. I would to use my equity in my current home to start investing but my current property needs work, like a full rehab. Looking for a creative way to either turn my current property into a rental or a flip or any other way to make a profit. 

Does adding a ADU create value in a property vs. the price of the adu build?
