I was drawn to this deal because it aligns with my strategy of combining immediate rental income with long-term development potential.

Hello Kilroy, When it comes to appraising ADUs it will basically be left up to the appraiser.

If a tenant chooses not to rent a place because the dishwasher is on the left instead of the right then you just dodged a headache of a tenant who would complain about everything. 

Balancing job and investing stress requires prioritizing properties and strategies that align with risk tolerance and time commitment.

With two years left until military retirement, prepare for retirement and investing by building cash reserves, developing multiple income streams, and growing education.Good luck!

Then, the question is how much profit will be left and is the amount/ROI worth the venture/risk.And, if you don't currently have a high cash flow income stream in place, it absolutely doesn't make sense.Hope that helps!

I've certainly had tenants get behind, and in one or two cases, they left owing 2 - 3 weeks rent. 

Now to get those high caps you need leases with shorter primary terms left that are almost all cash deals.

At least you can out here on the left coast.

I've listened to just about every podcast in the BP library, hell I was listening to "left field investing" before they got bought out back when they were on the "gentle art of crushing it".
