I had applied for the CALHFA ADU grant and clarified options in the beginning.

My name is Chris, looking to start getting involved in making some passive income.

The government does not want you to have any day-to-day involvement in the investment.  

Ask for them to remove the tree.Fifth, see if you can apply to get a protective order from a court to maintain the property. 

While I am not involved - i have read the accusations and whether or not if they are true, that would scare me enough to stay far far away from anything they are associated with. 

I'm struggling to find a good example that doesn't involve shared laundry.  

I would not shy away him from seeing the hard parts of RE.Main point....get him involved at a high rate.

@Erich OertelRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Although my spare time to complete such projects follows seasonal work highs and lows, it would be smart for any type deal I consider to involve adding value myself to the property.With at least 100k (possibly up to 140k) of equity in our home, I have done a fair amount of research in HELOCs and refi.

If it's a layered LLC, most lenders will need to trace a warm body on the operating agreement which will involve a bit more paperwork trail.
