Hi Gary, Finding reputable contractors can be time-consuming and difficult. 

I have a couple of mentors at work who do REI at much higher levels, usually 30+ units per deal, and have good reputations in our area.

Is there a reputable place that I can use to connect with private investors on a borrowers standpoint.

Anyway, if you're interested in arbitrage, you'll find better info on these sites from reputable people... 

Yes it's worth it if you have a reputable management company. 

The bad reputation comes from OOS investors wanting $20k D market properties.

If I were you I would first check to see if you can build an ADU, then consult with 2-3 reputable builders to get ballpark pricing for a similar structure to what you have in mind.

Sunset must have a good reputation with those travel agents.
