This will have the added benefit of networking with other agents. 

The appraised value seems low and I am trying to understand the best strategy to challenge this value and the cost / benefit of going through the condemnation process. 

- Is there a cost/ROI benefit of a 2 floor ADU plan vs single floor vs Loft ADU floor plan?

The 70% LTV and 3% origination cost you mentioned are typical, but they can definitely vary depending on the lender and the specific deal.Regarding the LLC or Trust, you're right, it's a good idea to explore those options for asset protection and potential tax benefits.

I am willing to give up control to benefit from the experience and efforts of a good operator that I trust when I have the capital to deploy.The main reason for this has to do with time.

It allows for a period of adjustment during down periods and takes advantage of the market's upward trajectory.By projecting returns, considering a solid five-year window, timing the market strategically, and analyzing historical patterns, I've been able to make profitable investments and build lasting wealth.Let me share with you the strategies on creating generational wealth that have worked for me and can work for you, too.Long-Term Mindset.

For illustration purposes if I were given the opportunity to finance my construction projects at 8O% LTC full recourse or 70% partial recourse I will select the higher levered recourse option because have confidence in my projects knowing the debt is sub 60% LTV and want the benefit of leverage. 

Adjust your strategy and/or your team as you go along.hope that helps..

Not only would you benefit from having a partner's input on the deal, but you would also have an experienced individual to work alongside with as you navigate the project.It's also important to make sure you have identified your "team" ie; contractors / realtors / lenders / insurance agents / title company / etc. 

There is no, or very little, current benefit - there is no cash flow.
