@Khadijah Celestine Personally, I would be more inclined to invest that money into multifamily properties because of the larger scale efficiency, scalability, cash flow, and equity build up potential. 

I have very much a trade background, mechanically inclined, average worker fitness and willing to use some sweat equity before my body gets too old.I’m understanding of the fact that no amount of “job security” is actually valid and you have to carve your own way.

If you don't have the time or inclination to become a DIYer, consider finding an asset manager or Realtor to get your exactly what you want.

Same price to mail out, but people are more inclined to open an invitation envelope as opposed to the other. 

I would also be inclined to limit his time window to 45 days to provide me a clear to close letter.

In my opinion, if you have an opportunity to add a second unit to your property in CA, where property values and rents are on the rapid incline the long run ROI from the ADU in CA will likely out pace those of properties outside of CA.

My inclination was that it's somewhat bogus to expect a buyer to pay as if the building is already performing at a certain level, but for all I know, in instances such as this one, maybe it's not that far-fetched.

You have to be mechanically inclined and available.  

ONe of the big wholesaler jumped on another thread offering to go drive by and made the comment  ( hey I probably sold them the house)  OK so wholesaler makes moneycontractor makes money.. don't think oceanpointe was doing this a charity someone had to own these and want the owner profit.. then you have the marketing company and you and I know what they make.So you add that all up and there is not enough gross revenue to feed all the mouths.. so what gets done is you buy the worse hood rats for next to nothing.. market them like they are top shelf investments.. sell them to a bunch of newer or newbie investors who don't know what they don't know but because you have this huge social media presence they are inclined to trust you. 

I am slightly less inclined to go down the second route as housing prices are declining, so it is hard to tell how long I would have to hold onto such a property to make a profit.
