•Clear Definition of Squatting: The new law defines squatting clearly, distinguishing between illegal occupation and tenant-landlord disputes.

Definitely makes the most sense

Up to you - there are definitely perks to using an agent, especially if it's someone who works often with investors and knows how to market them.

So it's definitely possible, but I have seen the other side of the coin too often. 

It’s definitely worth exploring these strategies! 

Plus, the relationship-based nature of private lending can lead to more long-term, win-win partnerships.Banks definitely have their place for more traditional loans, but for many investors, the convenience of private lending outweighs the higher rates—especially when time is money!

Once again, I would read the book ($10) and do my own do diligence before I ever take the advice of anyone in a forum, but I'm definitely getting in, as I see it as a way to provide people who can't or just don't want to deal with the bank for reasons of their own.

Also side note, I wouldnt say I am an experienced investor - I have only done 6 personal deals so far -  but definitely knowledgeable in my market! 

Definitely look into HELOC/cash out options, but if those don't work in terms of rates or availability I'd suggest using the existing cashflow from your multi to offset a primary mortgage, and then find a primary with an ADU.

Selling could definitely be an option, especially if you’re feeling uneasy about the numbers working out.
