This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

There was a recent webinar, bottom line, it looks like Darryl Heller sold off many of the ATMs, didn't pay the people who put the cash in them, didn't pay the stores that have them on site, isn't providing information to David Zook's team that the court has ordered and is racking up something like $50k+ a day for not doing so...it is a complete mess and seems like there are only a fraction of the ATMs that might still be producing money but the company hired by Zook to get their hands around all of this is running into many roadblocks because Heller's team isn't providing info. 

However, from what I’ve observed, it’s still not enough to produce meaningful cash flow.

Just because we did it so quick shouldn't diminish the value, hard work and systems required to produce the result for you.  

You need to understand how to drive the Net Operating Income to produce a good solid return. 

At first, it wasn’t glamorous, but today, those 12 doors produce about $90,000/year in net cash flow.

Excluding the periods of “tulip bulb” irrational exuberance, a property must produce enough of a risk adjusted return to satisfy both the ROI demands of the “limited partners”, and the income/time requirements of the sponsor.  

A lot of this content was produced in the mid stages of a vacation rental frenzy, and those concepts don’t necessarily work any more.

Most lenders sell their loans out.Nobody wants a loan where the asset is underwater every month.The real question is, why is a property worth over $1M only producing $4,000/mo.You should consider raising rents as this seems significantly below market.

But from what I've observed (and I'm sure you've seen too), only a few new investors, who are more analytical in nature, do this.One of the issues that I've seen again and again is new investors putting together a "spreadsheet" based on their limited understanding, that produces inaccurate or misleading numbers.
