Timelines, budgets, quality of finishes, they all need to go well for your exit and if your in bed with a GC that only cares about himself then all those things will not go right for you, but he'll still get his money.People really underestimate the following:1) The cash they need to close and carry the project2) How hard it is to have a GC stick to what they promise3) How long it may take to exit through a sale

I think initially it makes sense to find properties that already have finished basements, in-law suites, etc. as converting those spaces to ADUs will be inexpensive and create a significant amount of rental income ($2,000/month+ in most areas close to the city).

What is the standard process from start to finish so we can eliminate as much risk as possible?

Then it's simple, build the home, find crews to do the work (you should already have them basically from the prior step), excavation, concrete, sealing, framing, roof/gutters/siding, windows, insulation drywall, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, finishes, etc. basically in that order.

In fact, just finished one that I have yet to put on the market. 

Quote from @Alex Tchogorian: Hi @Chris Seveney I just finished reading Win-Win Revolution by Bill Bymel and would love to be part of your group.

Hey Bugger Pockets Community,I just finished reading Brandon Turner's book on investing with little to no money down (amazing book btw) and I am interested in knowing what are people's experience with MLO's and seller financing.

To answer a few questions, I recently just finished 10 SFR this past year.

Just finishing the SRT fire inspection requirement's this week. 

Be prepared to match the finishes you see to obtain similar prices/values.
