I tried Simpli Safe but, there cameras all need wifi to be able to live stream and record.

Good to know as I have a property coming on the market and we had one off market offer already all cash but at 10% list price discount (which we most likely will reject).Curious if you think the california fires will assist the market since many of those people need places to live for years and I am guessing some will flee california?

Are there any ways to get around this?

If you have a $400k duplex and you live in half and rent halfOr if you have a $200k rental property Your deductible rental expenses will be the same. 

I'm trying to find the best way to connect with real estate investors.  

Less likely.You have to have a host of skills and knowledge and $$ to get to make 10 successful rehabs happen in 1 year.

So let’s assume with realistic expense estimates over 1st 5 years you average $250 in today equivalent dollars (it will be a challenge at that starting point).The ADUs are typically receiving valuations below $100k, but let’s be generous to show the scope of the people and say it adds $150k of value. 

I already make a living out of real estate and I'm not planning on ever leaving this space, I'm here to stay. 

Contracting is all about relationships , knowing who to call and when to call them .

Good stuff, it is a much different market today.
