This initial negative equity position consumes the initial cash flow.  2) the addition of the adu makes the property multi family and likely makes rent control apply.  

One didn't make your list.1) I see people all the time raising money for real estate deals but they call it a partnership either because they are ignorant of the law or they are trying to avoid paying for all the legal work. 

Tenant covenants and agrees to pay interest at the maximum lawful rate or eighteen percent (18%) interest, whichever is less, compounded annually, on all unpaid Rent, damages, and other amounts owed by Tenant, excluding late fees, from that date of Landlord’s final accounting until such time Tenant pays all such outstanding amounts.

I pay professionals for help and can do basic tasks on my own without free labor. 

@Michael Daniel Ultimately, it's all about confirming what the housing authority pays.

At a high LTV your leverage will be magnified.If your cash flow really is break even (I have my doubts) then with the magnification resulting from leverage, you could produce a fairly good return (ROI from leveraged appreciation, equity pay down, tax benefits).Good luck

Market goes up and down and your tax implication comes into pay when cashing out. 

So if the LP's have enough cash they simply pay the loan off and own it free and clear.. but the size of the deals are so large raising cash to pay off debt simply is not realistic at all so if the property goes into default your junior position investors find themselves wiped out.Further more thats why a debt fund like Chris has can be a good choice for the very conservative investor..

.✔️ You’d rather pay for peace of mind and legal compliance.Final ThoughtsIf you’re house hacking a small multi-unit (like a 2- or 3-flat) and are comfortable being hands-on, self-managing can be a great way to save money and learn the business.

So either you pay for the repair out of the idle cash in your account, file an insurance claim and use those funds, or rollover/transfer funds from another retirement account to cover the cost.
