@Kash Tacke I'm a big fan of ADU's in general especially here in the mid west, yes you could potentially be on the front of the wave, but housing density is the solution to the affordability issue, anytime you are investing with affordability in mind is a great strategy to me, and sound like there are some incentives or at least supporting winds form the local city, that in itself seems like it would be worth at least approaching an architect or contractor to bid up some plans or concepts to take tot he city.  

Ourcurrent approach involves identifying possible contact information for thelisted owners and calling multiple numbers, but this process is time-consumingand yields limited results.

I’m not looking for a completely passive approach, even though I’d be managing it from outside the country.

This fosters a top-down management approach that ensures accountability and efficiency throughout the property.As I've earned from my own experiences, the difference between a good operator and a poor one lies in effective asset management.

I started with the Simple Start plan, but as I learn more about the software, I realize that to effectively classify income and expenses per unit, I need to use Classes and Locations, which are only available on the higher-tier plans.I’ve seen suggestions to use units as customers as a workaround, but I’m curious if anyone else has tried this approach or has recommendations for managing multiple units in QuickBooks with the Simple Start plan.Looking forward to your feedback!

Let's clarify this real quick,I understand this model wouldn’t work for every property owner, especially those who are looking to sell outright and walk away from the property entirely, and the approach isn’t designed to replace a traditional property sale. 

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

It takes the pressure off as deadlines approach and gives you room to solve unexpected issues.

Contacting rentals is a smart approach too, its all really a numbers game

Are there specific tools, presentations, or approaches that help them feel more confident in taking that first step?
