Just be aware that the city is underdeveloped and you might want to be extra careful when choosing tenants to make sure that you'll be collecting your rent every month. 

That's according to The Business Journals' inaugural hottest housing markets ranking, which is based on third-quarter listing and sales data from Intercontinental Exchange Inc. 

As for the extra dollars unaccounted for, it could be a number of things - repair persons fee, management fee, failed repair, etc.

If you are trying to piece everything together yourself remotely I think the time and brain damage and extra cost in time and cash you would be better to go yourself and do it. 

The biggest ways IMO are MLS data, multiple solutions for sellers (off market cash deal or listing), ability to rep. yourself on your own deals (saving on commission).Commission savings adds up fast when you're doing multiple deals a year.That being said, there is cost to having a license so if you're only doing a couple deals a year then it might not make as much sense.

I rent homes unfinished for the most part but sometimes, if a space would look better with something extra, like a coffee bar or a patio table, I will pick one up.

Cities usually don't care if the OWNER lives in the basement, just tenants.You could use the extra income to offset cost of finishing basement and more.

My rent data is also based on CoStar and other social media outlets' marketplaces.

I have a W2, so the extra rental income would be reinvetsed into the property.

Preapproved ADU plans offer extra space or rental potential.
