It's also a lot of risk if you don't have relationships with builders and other trades and understand how to navigate the local permit process.

Hey @Dan Adams, ADU's in Portland are still a newer topic and builders are the ones who are savvy enough to have figured out the rules to market to homeowners efficiently what they can offer.

I'm getting a lot of differing opinions from both real estate professionals and regulating bodies. 

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Bernie BurkeIf you invest in a syndication make sure to get updated reviews - whether here on BP, or in other investment clubs, a lot of the buried bodies are making their way to the surface.  

Hi Michael,It is great that you are doing this together, I read some great tips on here, something I wanted to add:I have been checking a lot of 2-4 units, in the past it was not easy to find them in good areas.During COVID, a lot of investors decided to build these types of units which is great, but not all builders are great, I had a client, he purchased 2 duplexes in the same area, we had some pricy maintenance issues, one was with the plumbing.

You can sell part of the term of the note (say you're retiring in 5 years, sell the first 5 years of a 30 year note and get the back 25 years - this one can be an amazing wealth builder). 

Full Disclosure - I'm an owner of JWB Real Estate Capital (Jacksonville Wealth Builders.)

2 points - First, in most states (and SC appears to be one), you can only act as Owner/Builder on your own residence, not investment properties. 

Builders got CREAMED.

Hi Alex,  There is a builder in the Kissimmee/Davenport area that builds for investors specifically.
