Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – and they often select the first PMC they call!

It would be interesting to track this property for a few years and see how its performing. 

@Bryan Melendez you're just one of thousands of investors that:1) Were chasing Class A rentals from 2012-2020, before their values exceeded their pre Great Recession highs and they wouldbnt casflow at purchase anymore.2) That started chasing Class B rentals in 2020-2022 because of #1 above.3) Started chasing Class C rentals in 2022 when Class B rental prices AND higher mortgage rates also got too high to cashflow at purchase.4) Are now chasing Section 8 tenants as the cure-all for Class C tenant performance issues, so their Class C properties ACTUALLY cashflow.

I'd also recommend checking out the Market Finder tool (biggerpockets.com/markets) for a quick way to compare markets and narrow your search to a few top-performing areas. 

I have an ADU on my property and we have been performing well. 

Have you found that certain styles or materials consistently perform better in your projects?

I'd see how the property performs if you were to move out, does it cash flow then?

@Larry Nielsen The goal of a real estate investor should be to maximize the performance of your real estate while avoiding  incoming liabilities against the real estate and yourself personally.

The sad part is that these poor returns don't even have to do with financing costs which will be an issue in the future this is simply poor performance by inexperienced operators.
