Quote from @Devin Peterson: Quote from @Hassan Tejan-Kella: Hello all I'm a 6 year investor mainly involved in long term rentals.

Hi Kyle, not sure what you mean by underground, but I'm based in Seattle and invest in mainly midwest markets (Detroit and Memphis) where I have 9 (soon to be 10) doors.

I've also been focused mainly on Pgh because I have family there who are contractors and can to do any repairs/refurbishments.  

I realized we would not get the same valuation as the main home but at $130k for 440sq ft I did not realize we could be in a negative equity position.  

For Guys the main things that come to mind are: 1) Property damage2) Neighbor complaints3) NOT calling about repairs that need to be made4) Prolonged turnover times For Girls they are:1) Parental involvement/helicopter parents2) Pest control 3) Security issues (i.e. house is broken into)4) Roommate dramaBoth can be incredibly difficult to deal with for sure.

It's technically not an ADU if it's the only property on land as it's an accessory dwelling unit to a main unit.

Rent controls will be a real issue if you are planning it as a rental investment which in fact reduce the value of the main house as a rental.

I have 4 long term rentals in my portfolio and I am mainly focusing on investing in single family homes in Traid, NC. 

For me, I wanted to portray my real estate investments as more professional and that was the main reason I switched to using landlord software for rent collections. 

The main reason I would like to start off my career with flipping a few properties is so I can have a quick ROI and I want to do real estate full time as soon as I finish my contract.
