Quote from @Brandon Ly: Hi @Adam MayberryFirst off, thank you for offering to answer any questions we have regarding SB9/ADU.

Quote from @Devin James: Quote from @Dominic Mazzarella: Quote from @Devin James: Everything went wrong with this investment:   - Took 4 months longer than expected   - Cost $10K more to build than we anticipated   - Sold for $20K less than we anticipatedWe still profited with a 30% return on equityThis is why I love Real Estate InvestingWhen you do your diligence and stay conservative with your numbers, it takes something really bad to lose money.Here was the original post:My siblings and I are building a home in North Port, FL.Here are the numbers: - Finished Home Value: $412Kish - Land Cost: $19,750.39 - Construction & Permitting Costs: $304,897Additional costs: - Environmental Site Assessment - General Liability Insurance - Builders Risk Insurance - Construction FinancingWe will be listing the home this weekPhotos coming soon!!
