Does anyone have any experience or guidance on doing one of these?  

Your decades of experience have made you jaded. 

Their cost structures are significantly different from what new investors face today.Maybe I haven't yet reached the section that addresses different market conditions and interest rate environments, but I’d love to hear insights from those with more experience.

Since I don't have the experience that I aspire to have yet, I'm looking to create a relationship with some guidance without being taken advantage of.

2.Does anyone have experience investing in or house hacking in Danbury?

I’m giving serious consideration to converting into a PadSplit.However, I have heard that Fort Worth (the city, Tarrant County, the faceless boogey man…) has issues with PadSplit whereas Dallas County is supportive.I would love to hear about your experiences between the two markets and if Fort Worth can be viable for PadSplit and anything I should be mindful of?

I run a MTR out of my primary bedroom and would be happy to connect and chat about your plans and what my experiences have been. 

these can produce good returns but best chance for success is for those that have experience in this area (I am a partner on an effort adding 8 ADUs, but it is not performing to the initial underwriting (underperforming) and it is an experienced team).good luck I get it, but not everyone has the opportunity of scale and building multiple units.

Seems like a big risk given our experience. 

Sounds like you’ve got some solid experience under your belt.
