A company made me a market analyses, and between the loan for the new ADU and what I could rent it for, I would barely brake even. 

Other than it makes logical sense I actually ran a mathematical simulations and plotted the graphs where it mathematically shows at wht point, you brake even with the other poorly performing methods.Everything is intentbased.

All 3 companies listed here are legitimate funding sources, but the market is fluid and so are guidelines, Khiavi valuation process can be tricky, but they try to utilize inhouse resources to help with speed. 

questions...And sometimes, I drive a large, diesel, manual transmission, Dodge Ram with a loud exhaust brake. 

What are the real costs of rehab, resell, rent, clean brake from Andy, etc.?  

I brake down some of the deals I have done in my book The Hiden Entrepreneur Within Me that for sell on Amazon.

It can also be costly paying someone for the gas since constant braking and going with 3-point turns, u-turns, etc really does use up so much more gas than you think than driving on a highway or how most people normally would.

@Lindsay Brake thank you for that in depth post! 

I think you're pretty lucky in that, while your wife may not understand REI and doesn't care to, she also hasn't put the brakes on your ability to move forward.  

If this were a car, I'd want someone to say "Don't forget to kick the tires, look under the hood, check the speedometer, check the dipstick, drive it, see if it pulls to one side while driving, slam on the brakes at 25 miles an hour" etc. etc.
