It gives you one property that can potentially pay for itself while putting a roof over your head and giving you experience as a hands-on landlord.

It's another to do so in a way that makes a new investor feel bad.

.: @Owen Rosen I'm in WA as is STR Do you have an agent? 

Agent gets paid from the net proceeds unless the seller is unwilling to pay the buyer agent fee/commission, which in this case you do not have an agent; that agent would ask (if they were representing you) for the buyer/you to pay them their commission from a buyer broker agreement (if the seller was not paying commission).So it's the same difference, the seller will pay it (2%), and the agent will not come out of pocket for it.

I bought the house with an unfinished ADU that I hope to finish by Fall of 2024.

Some thoughts that go through my head......Who do you contact to get current values, after renovation values to see if this process is even worth it? 

What should it cost?

I just got under contract to do an FHA 203k myself here in Chicago, so if you want to talk about the process, please reach out!

I do not hassle people with having to sign a separate agreement.Vrbo allows you to upload your rules and the renter agrees to these when they book.I just type my rules in the Airbnb listing. 

It really makes a difference when you use pros that specialize in REI and how they can help your money work for you.
