Quick rules of thumb on an ADU return on investment, can you achieve the 1% rule with gross rent?

Are you going to get returns which are significantly better than that and do you have a strategy and skill set for achieving it?  

However, I understand that achieving these goals is a gradual process—one that requires patience, diligence, and a stable foundation.The allure of “financial freedom” and “passive income” often captivates new investors.

I would think a more nuanced marketing approach where agents compensation is based on achievable results and other factors (e.g., hours committed to representation, achievement goals, discounts for properties based on price for square footage, negotiation of post escrow discounts, credit for seller/agent cooperation, transaction coordination commitment) might be more digestible for a buyer.Should be interesting to see going forward, but I do think in general, agent compensation will be less as things develop.

OP what are you trying to achieve?  

If your debt is student loans at 6-8% interest your best bet is to pay them down/off as fast as possible as most investments will achieve a similar result but that is gross (before taxes) not net.  

It’s a great market for long-term appreciation and growth, but it will be harder to achieve cash flow compared with how the Midland home is structured.

This opportunity aligned perfectly with our investment strategy of acquiring homes with untapped potential, enabling us to achieve a solid return on investment through smart renovations and quick resale.

What are you hoping to achieve with your investment property?
