But of course, having an additional spot or two reserved for the ADU would be ideal.

While that's certainly not ideal, my leverage was low to start with and my loan maturities were ten years so I have staying power to sell into a better market.Looking ahead, anything I'd buy would have to cash flow out of the gate in a higher-rate climate. 

That said, a single family home or cabin would be ideal.

From experience, switching to a conventional loan can help you remove PMI once you reach 20% equity, while DSCR loans are ideal if you’re focused on rental income.

I deal with wholesalers every week on my fundings  or should I say I see their fee's on the HUDS every week.. if I see one come in that is just way to high  like a 50k purchase and 50k assingment fee I wont fund it..

I think doing a 1031 would be ideal.

Low property taxes, no income tax and landlord friendly make it ideal for many CA investors.  

Thanks Brett, it is my understanding that by buying a property of equal or greater value it would allow for maximizing the tax deferral, which is ideal, but not a legal requirement? 

People are busy with the holidays, and very few are focused on moving. 22 days isn't ideal, but it's not bad for this time of year.

Ideally, I would like to use the BRRRR strategy with a small multifamily to start.
