Ironically, it actually discouraged me from building a permitted ADU and opting for a nonpermitted basement ADU for au-pair quarters and later on airbnb (STR not allowed for permitted ADUs/duplexes etc) which seems to be a better return on investment vs. long term renter if living close-in. 

We are renting one half of the duplex to a pair of college kids close to the property.

The very basics of this new deal are a pair of 4-plex properties (very nice properties) that generate in excess of 4k a month in rent that I am negotiating to purchase for 175k cash, but actual market value prob 225k+ conservatively.

All of the above paired with the big neighborhood shift at W.

You will FEEL motivated just by being around them.Time is on your side and it's the most expensive currency on the planet. 

Refinancing pairs debt called a mortgage with a property. 

I had the electronic currency to afford it without financing.

We are currency renting and our lease ends soon, so we want to have something lined up for then. 

One funny thing about the guys is that they would rather buy a new pair of socks than take their dirty clothes to the laundry.

Feel free to connect with me, it would be awsome to pair up with someone who is just beginning like I am and help each other out.
