There are plenty of valuable contacts, relationships to create & grow, helpful bits of information, etc.3 things I'd recommend for a new BP member looking to make the most of the platform:1.

Let any potential renter know that you intend to convert the garage into an ADU and address any potential issues created by adding the ADU (parking, shared yard, quiet hours, etc.)

Yes to all of it.Definitely stay there a few days to find things your cleaners aren't going to notice.You need to create the 5 star experience from the beginning.

I’m guessing the process of valuation and creating legal shares was a bit more involved than Marcos had expected.

Create a weighted criteria chart, visit top markets, engage with local experts, and use resources for market analysis.

Thank you for taking your time and creating this well put together thread.

The not leaving (and not paying) is what costs real money and creates serious issues.

Two days ago it was an investor who created an additional LLC independent of the deed holder entity believing tenants could only sue the LLC where a contractual relationship existed. 

Competition is much lower this time of the year and the election has further slowed down the market, which creates opportunities for savvy buyers.

An LLC requires time and money to create and maintain, every year.
