It’s a low-risk entry into real estate with built-in cash flow potential.

It also gave me the chance to experiment with short-term rentals before transitioning to a long-term hold, reinforcing my strategy for growing a real estate portfolio.

It is usually difficult to take money against it from the bank, it might not be a 1:1 value add - meaning if you invest 100k into an adu it might not raise your value by 100kThat being said, it can be pretty lucrative especially in expensive and sunny CA - since building lots are no where to be found and existing real estate returns are very poor.My partner builds these units.

I typically only charge for real damage to walls.

I'm working with a real estate attorney to help me with transferring the deed.

We were the ideal customer of a real estate investor. 

There are all kinds of plans and ways to “make it” in real estate.

Quote from @Victor Patel: I have went to many real estate and franchise conferences over the last 30 years. 

In terms of finding a partner, I would recommend partnering with someone who has something that you don't have (understands renovations, real estate experience, has money, etc.)

Learning how to responsibly use debt is one of the best tools any real estate investor has at their disposal.
