(Ask me how I know this.)You'll be priced out of virtually any quality market as you'll need to put anywhere from 25-40% down if you'd like to cash flow in a deal you don't have to significantly rehab (or found off-market) with interest rates where they're at (and don't expect them to go down to 4% anytime this decade either--a 3-4% interest rate is historically low and investors in the 2010s were lucky and spoiled). 

They virtually never do ground up ADU additions.  

Connecting with a mentor or support network can be done through local real estate meetups, forums, or virtual mentorship programs.

And it's one of the few, true, "set it and forget it" investments out there, as there is no maintenance and virtually no risk - the only risk is a US Government default (which would be apocalyptic and thus one of the few things our gov't would never do). 

Virtually all 5+ units in Reno where the buyer is using bank financing will require 50+% down.

I've looked at google earth and "driven" down the road virtually and mine doesn't appear to be on the best street, but I have nothing to base it on since I've never been there.  

Even virtual?

Those few that are still buying to hold virtually always are doing large value add that virtually always is more than just a rehab.
