Hi @Jen HoangI came across this post while researching how investors are navigating 1031 exchanges today, and I think your questions are still super relevant.. especially given how much the real estate market has shifted over the past year.

This method is particularly relevant if you're in a market with high rental demand.Many property owners have found that adding an ADU significantly increases their property's market value and appeal.

I actually recently started a youtube channel where I will be uploading videos to help investors (or anyone else interested) learn how to self-GC new construction.

I would then get someone out there to do an inspection and confirm it is working and make sure they video record or take photos to prove its working.

This is relevant for multiple reasons 1) appreciation is where the real wealth is generated in RE 2) real estate has tax advantages over cash flow 3) in CA property tax increase is capped.  

I just posted a YouTube video about just that recently :-)

We help our clients:1) Find a fixer-upper to buy2) We get bids3) Negotiate a Scope Of Work with the owner using "Maintain to the Neighborhood" to avoid over-improving, but understanding we will have to pass city Rental Inspection to avoid being a slumlord.4) Provide multiple jobsite videos to show progress and document WHAT was done and the QUALITY.5) Handle passing city Rental Inspection6) Find a tenant with a Replacement Guarantee per Class7) Assist with refinance, so client can repeatSo, why you looking OOS again?

He has tons of videos on each country and the viability of the asset for people buying internationally.

After speaking with other investors, realtors, and contractors here is what I came up with.I do not take responsibility for it, it's relevant for Pittsburgh PA only, and use it on your own risk and discretion.

When I first started, they said I would get results if I just followed their instructions and got indoctrinated in the principles of mindset.They told me, that people actually don't learn from books, courses, sermons or watching videos, but by having a "relationship" with a coach or mentor.
