Seems like with ADU you get better cash flow, but with garage you maintain better appreciation.

You also want to look for these like/kind properties that have sold in the past 3-6 months within a .25 to 1 mile radius.This comes with practice so the more you do the better you will become at it. 

Also, living in a better area of NB is still much cheaper than the rent in the suburban towns that surround NB which will always be an advantage of owning there.

Short term my credit score did take a hit, but once the promotional transfers were paid off, my score jumped higher than it was before.These days, the "pure" zero percent transfers don't seem to be around anymore as they typically charge a 3-5% balance transfer fee as part of the promotion, but this is still better than current HELOC rates.

It gives you insight into what managing rentals actually entails, and you’ll have a better understanding of what you need from a property manager later on.

My project is expected to exit this year and it appears that will happen as expected and in line with projections or maybe a little better.

I had a better feeling about this contractor so I hired them.

Better yet train others to keep things going while you take your break.Again Jonathan thanks for the reminder that the grind never stops. 

I do have an agent I know personally but she's only in the area at certain times of the year.Section 8 would be better than nothing.

Happy to send over some referrals - some are better for big rehabs vs small cosmetic vs subcontractor only projects.
