I still have off market sellers I work with I do not like to formally list properties with rounds of bidding and extract out every single basis point for a seller etc. 

If your goal is to acquire more cash-flow producing rentals with your precious equity/capital, then you can extract $105k with a 75% LTV new mortgage (or keep the mortgage you have and look into a HELOC.)Use that as a 25% down payment on another ~$400k rental.

Needless to say, we were in the mountains and had to have a helicopter extract the two people she landed on. 

Sometimes the contractors are trying to extract as much money out of you as possible.

I will list various reasons later in the post.Value add properties historically produce the best returns and can produce infinite return if you are successfully able to extract all your investment at refinancing. 

My purpose is to reduce the fear associated with an out-of-control legal system set up on extracting assets through Legal Extortion Rackets by protecting your wealth from such attacks, while leaving you with both control and beneficial use of your assets.

It is similar to the work of a BRRRR, but due to no likely extraction of investment the returns are far worse.The price of ADUs varies depending on numerous criteria, but the Texas estimate is way low for So Cal. 

If the investment (or at least most of the investment) will be extracted and the tenant will be paying the mortgage, the cost is only important as to the value added by the renovation. 

I historically have achieve infinite return on most of our BRRRRs (meaning all financial investment was extracted).  

The negative position can consume years of cash flow before it is recovered and the first true return is achieved.  2) ADUs having value significantly below the hands on costs of the ADU addition means that there is no easy way to extract the value.
