This property is in shenandoah valley, so my plan is to findout from the local county office/health dept.

Also, make sure you know what the local laws are.

Did you try a local CU or bank for a construction to permanent loan?

Build connections with local professionals, talk to them in person, and value there time over yours.

I purchased my first buy and hold SF rental property last year and turned the property into a student rental as it was very close to a local College.

Their contribution depends on factors like local demand for ADUs, their design and size, and how they’re used (e.g., rental income potential).

I live in Tacoma, WA…a lot of folks don’t want to deal with having to learn the local housing laws.

Being a part of the local REIAs in both towns can help you understand more of what is going on.  

I'm not too familiar with the markets yet but research I've done suggests that the towns of New Britain, New Haven and Hartford all have a good mix of inventory and low prices coupled with plenty of amenities, night life, cafes, etc and local colleges to bring younger people to the area year after year.

I really want to do local meetups and interact with more advanced investors but don’t know where to start.
