Jorge, this post hits hard—raising equity is definitely a beast!

Post it on fb marketplace and boost the ad and I am sure you will get a million messages but don't make your ad sound like a motivated seller.

There are many reasons that adding a single ADU in southern CA is a less than ideal RE investment (i will post a list at the end) but the negative initial equity is a primary reason as the initial negative equity position consumes the initial cash flow and can take many years to recover.As for converting your home to a rental….

This is a really great post!

@Tayvion Payton  When I see posts like this, something I'm thinking the poster thinks financing is easier on 5+ units due to commercial loans or that the numbers make more sense. 

Love this post.

If Money stops so does work .Now a lot of the posts say they have been ripped off by contractors and I know why .

Based on your post it kind of sounds like you want a beach/lake house but like the idea of it making money too.
