Hey Eugenio - What is the trust structure?

Tenant protection issues - We’re in CA and introduction of limits on rent increases so want to be sure that we have the lease structured so the tenant reverts to a market rate rent at the end of the 3 year period or moves out if unwilling to pay that rate.I’m struggling with the 3 year lease being long, I don’t think I could enter an indefinite (til death) lease.Another thought what if one spouse dies and the survivor remarries a younger person?

So you are not going to get the 10% who are successful to change their business structures. 

There is a reason experienced flippers are not doing ground up ADUs in CAIn general, ADUs cost more to add than the value added creating an initial negative position and typically cause the primary structure to now be rent controlled (even though I believe that is not applying the law as intended).  

Nearly everything else will impact your future buyer who will build a structure.

How would you structure a deal so that the private money could cover the down payment and fund the rehab in order to minimize money out of your pocket and being able to pay the private lender off when you refinance? 

Acreage with additional structures is probably not an option.

You typically have three main hats that need worn: acquisitions (deal sourcing), asset management (execution), and capital structuring (equity raising, financing).  

I think the days of a commission based structure for buyers agents is going to be over .Sure there are agents that say they wont work for less , thats fine , others will .   

Since he will construct close to cost and taking a risk also, I would structure at 50/50.
