Networking is such a crucial part of real estate investing, and I definitely want to focus on building strong relationships and finding great partnerships.

All of those markets on the KS side are strong.

If not, they may consider building the ADU and down-sizing into it and renting out the main house.

Your ability to turn around a property with an 11% cap rate is a pretty strong selling point.

Appraisal is a strong background going into this, you've already got a leg up congrats.I'm not in your market but I'm a big fan of all things affordable housing. 

Stack cash & build credit. 

My plan is to build along the same type of home, but of course with some of my design inputs.I want to get a really solid foundation before any actual building happens and I would truly appreciate any advice that anyone has to offer of some preliminary items I should know and take care of beforehand.

Ive been asked numerous times by folks if I could act as their GC for build-to-rent/build-to-sell properties.- How would this work from a lending perspective?

  $2800/month is what I would expect from 1 unit not the entire building

Can definitely help you build a team & fill in the areas you are missing!
