I mean, he probably wouldn't describe it that way, but that's what he was doing.It takes time to grow organically, and it is frustrating and painful at times.

If they’re lying they probably chose your property because you didn’t have a PM.

The down payment might be a little higher, but it will be a much longer-term loan that you won't have to worry about coming up with big payment in month 24 and it'll be amortized over a much longer time period (probably 25-30 years), so the monthly payment could actually be lower. 

I’ve probably depreciated $3M on my properties.  

The learning curve is probably great on importing large quantities or even just large things from a foreign company.

Even without those challenges you had, it was still probably hard to find a buyer because of the use mix.  

I've probably caught maybe 5% of the spammers on the first post.

Even in HCOL areas, adding an ADU typically does not make sense because developing a single small unit is the most expensive residential development that exists.Adding an ADU is a lot of work (probably more than a brrrr but with worse return), has poor financing options, typically adds less value than the cost of the addition, and detracts something from the primary structure even if it is just yard and privacy.Good luck 

Also go through a servicing company for payments to the seller, escrow can probably help you out with a recommendation for that. 

I just wanted to piggyback by saying you can still find those kind of deals, but like Nicolas was saying, it's probably going to be on the east side, in C- to D neighborhoods.
