It was a big project in terms of the amount of work it needed, I just ran out of time with my lender going through the garbage with the contractor, finding a new one, and finishing taking the longest. other than that I would've let it sit on the market to get closer to what I actually wanted for the property.

Buying a turn key rental, in an area you know or knew well, with a property manager you've met and trust, in an area that is large enough for you to have other options to find contractors and property managers? 

Hi Kwanza,Bay Tek (650-204-1512) would be a great starting point, but I’d also recommend reaching out to Adler Builders (650-398-9030) and Mission Home Remodeling (415-855-7269) for comparable bids.In San Francisco, you’ll need a licensed General Contractor (GC) to pull the necessary permits.

Second thing would be to work with a contractor, this is great stuff to do since you know building a house, building material costs, and knowledge of right and wrong what to do. 

The tenant understands that the property of the Tenant is not insured by the landlord for damage or loss of any kind (action of third party, fire, water, theft, vandalism, storm, heat or cold, electrical damage, pests, mold, accident, etc.), and the Landlord assumes no liability for such loss.

Congratulations to your continued success.That said we would like some guidance on crafting a contract where we would partner with contractor to go in on a flip together. 

Look for properties with updated roofs, electrical, and plumbing.

If you’re familiar with the area or have tips for evaluating properties, working with brokers, or finding good contractors, I’d love to connect and learn from your experiences.Looking forward to being part of this community and sharing my journey!

Focus on identifying promising neighborhoods in the north or east bay by leveraging your husband’s contractor network, local real estate agents, and online deal-finding platforms.

The main issue is that to do the ADU you have to spend so much bringing other items up to code like electrical, plumbing, lighting (windows) and egress.
