I got caught and lost my money and more and more people are also reporting similar circumstances. 

Interested to see what people say.

Real estate is transactional where people are involved so it won't be a black and white answer.The best to do is to find an agent that fits your needs and guide you through the process.

And then (or step 1 if you already own.) find a friend/relative/co-worker, or two you like to rent a room from you. 2 people paying $750/mo each is pretty close to your goal in one step.If you rent or the thing you own is too small to do that get your friend to help you fix up a “dump” you can get cheap but feel comfortable living in day 1.

For most people a house hack is a great start. 

At the end of the day we can screen our tenants all we want, but cannot control what people do.  

I hope people get the point that you worked hard to earn the $2 mil and invested it wisely, you didn’t just get rich overnight from real estate.

I would send 10 people into this program. 

I find single ADUs are mostly being added by people with minimal RE investment experience often without a clue as to the value that will be added by the adu addition.  

Uncertainty leads to higher interest rate expectation.
