You want to talk to friends and family on this, I don't know anyone who would see this on the Internet and be like, yeah, this sounds like exactly what I am looking to do with my money.

From internet search/Turbo Tenant:  'In certain instances, breaking a lease in California due to a medical condition might be possible.

I am currently working on phase 2; building 2 ADUs.The permits are already in the works but the biggest question is what is the best approach when funding these 2 ADUs BEFORE I have the equity from my home?

The biggest question you need to ask yourself is if you are doing this to afford a property you otherwise couldn’t afford or to save money period, that will lead to very different conclusions about where/if to buy. 

Lastly, what’s been the biggest surprise about being a landlord so far?

My humble advice to anyone attempting to do creative finance is:Creative finance is for experienced investors who have access to capital if anything goes wrong.Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal levelLearn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are neededKnow everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

I have a client in KC that has acquired 45 SFRs and is just now looking to buy MF properties.Two of the biggest things to consider when buying a commercial property (5+) versus a 1-4 MF is cost (e.g., the appraisal for 5+ is at least $2k-$3k) and the financing structure by lenders because Fannie/Freddie don't generally buy loans for commercial properties.So, for you personally, the biggest driver for the type of your next property is probably going to be the amount of a down payment/equity you can put in the property.
