The phone number for the 'agent' emailing me is the same as the one for the main business.

I think the ultimate situation for what I described above (not the plan, but a possible outcome) could look like this:Rent main house by the rooms while constructing ADU.

It is located in an area that attracts college students/employees, working class families, and military families.

A few areas to consider for long-term rentals are Madison, South Huntsville, and the areas near Redstone Arsenal, as they attract stable tenants.Are you looking for cash flow, appreciation, or a mix of both?

It's possible to buy property in Germany with as little as 5-10% down, making it an attractive option for service members and civilian government employees stationed there or planning to settle.

With comps ranging from $875K-$1M and your estimated build cost at $550K, the after-completion value gives you a significant equity cushion, making this project highly attractive to lenders.If you plan to hold and rent the property, you could refinance into a DSCR loan after construction, which bases lending on rental income rather than personal income.

I'm still focusing on small multi-families mainly 3-4 units.
