Rarity isn't always the best thing especially if demand for this property type is low in your market.The reason I am bullish on adding ADUs is because I don't think the increased demand for ADUs is unique to New York.

Your discipline and focus on your financial future are commendable.When it comes to deciding between real estate investing and the stock market, both have their unique advantages, especially when considering the power of compounding interest.

Would be very interested in also learning about unique or niche ways to market. 

I am currently under contract for a very unique off market property that is waterfront (Manatee river, Bradenton, FL) and very close to the seawall(1958) & rip rap(2016).

I would suggest Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, Floor and Decor, other flooring distributors in your area, etc....

This place has great potential to be renovated into a unique, boutique motel.How do I go about forecasting financials and exploring funding? 

I'm hesitant as I am not too familiar with the state's unique laws and I don't have a network in those areas and they'll have to be created from scratch.

In the real estate business, every transaction is unique and the approach to it may vary.

I highly recommend hiring a local RE attorney to draft this unique document.

It simply means that there are various struggles and challenges out there and as investors, landlords, developers, etc. we are in a unique position to make a positive impact in someone's life.
