@Frankie Paterno I have talked with a number of investors in your situation. 

Have you talked to any social service agencies about this yet?

Best to talk to her and understand your options.

There are so many different strategies within the venue space that I am surprised also that there are not more investors talking about it. 

So when I hear other investors talking about how adding ADU's adds equity, you're telling me this isn't really a common experience?

Happy to connect if you have any questions or just want to talk real estate!

While it will likely give you more confidence and answer a lot of questions, I would say that talking to a seasoned investor, or even agent that works with investors, is a way better idea than spending 8K on something that you don't know too much about, especially before your first deal is done.

Talk to a realtor. 

I personally focus on DSCR investment loans and creative investment financing strategies, so I am happy to connect with you and talk about a game plan.

Talk to other clients, go look at his current job site and see how clean it is, the quality of work, if the order of operations is making sense so far, etc.PS I'm a GC in the Nashville area and can take on a handful of clients in 2025 if you need me.
