I've had pretty good success the last couple years with a combination of house hacking and building Accessory Dwelling Units.

We are currently building many investment Single Family Homes on independent lots that focus on maximizing rent.

At the end of the day; you need more money to do something like this.MAX LTV on new builds is 80% LTC, Meaning if the build is $550,000 and Land is XAdd ($550,000 + x ) * .8 = LOAN AMOUNTYou would need to come in with MINIMUM 20% of the cost in addition to closing costs and reserves, $80,000 is not going to cut it for this project.
