The concept of "EARN" is gone in these hearts and minds.

@Kash Tacke I'm a big fan of ADU's in general especially here in the mid west, yes you could potentially be on the front of the wave, but housing density is the solution to the affordability issue, anytime you are investing with affordability in mind is a great strategy to me, and sound like there are some incentives or at least supporting winds form the local city, that in itself seems like it would be worth at least approaching an architect or contractor to bid up some plans or concepts to take tot he city.  

I know this is a differing topic on the forums, and online in general, but having the legal background/education and knowing estate planning concepts you'll realize it shouldn't be.  

The term ADAPTIVE REUSE 2.0 is not a new concept but a new focus.

I'll check out the turnkey provider you mentioned (never heard of such a concept before), so learned something new!

@James Wise gonna have to disagree with the "lie cheat steal" concept regarding residents.Any resident has the potential to be less than desirable.

It was the second book I read, I have all the notes, I'll share here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1blQFIKSls6JDHdl7srVMhXd8...The book mostly talks about investing in different states, and how to keep contractors honest, and monitoring renovations, but many of the core concepts are the same.

I understand the concept how you have described your services above but the home was not "rent ready" or had the number of rooms advertised and that is the biggest issue here.Our contract was about a year ago and the reason why I am responding now is for two reasons 1) to warn other buyers and 2) because a potential buyer of yours actually reached out to me and suggested that I post my story on this platform.Keep on responding Katee.

To intentionally reduce the leverage more than required is a foreign concept to me especially in the San Diego market.  

I agree wholeheartedly, and if you've lived in China I guess you'll be familiar with the concept of "guanxi" which I think translates quite well to real estate.
