I have had a couple investors reach out to me about the possibility of finishing their homes, but the same question comes up.

I bought a house in Marietta that had a full finished basement, but no kitchen. 

Most residential developers specialize in one of three areas: - Entitlements & Permitting (Paper Lots) - Horizontal Development (Finished Lots) - Vertical Development (Finished Homes)Some developers focus on multiple, depending on the market, their risk tolerance, and other factors.Historically, we've focused on entitlements and permitting, with some horizontal development.

Now, if you're looking to do a BRRRR in today's market being brand new to real estate, it might be safer buying cash and refinancing when finished.

There will be equity(but not a lot), and cashflow, when the ADU is finished, but there doesn't seem to be any construction loan options that take 2nd position.

I finished your book the other day, "Real Estate by the Numbers," which has allowed me to add a few more powerful metrics to my underwriting methods.

Or even finish the basement to be able to maximize on rent? 

So is interior and exterior finishes. 

Learned so much on this project from start to finish.

Had to have another come finish the three units but more $$$.
