But some of the conversation I had with this dude is what stuck in my mind..

It might even be worth it to reach out to your contractor for a quick conversation. 

You will know from your conversations who is a right fit for you and who is not. 

After several conversations with OOS investors and many affiliated brokerages it still amazes me that the secret is not out...

The structure has to either already exist (we converted the garage) or you can do an addition to the property and build it out that way.One of my clients took an illegal garage conversion that was expanded into two bedrooms and used the FHA 203(k) loan to get it permitted.

Then maybe used your saved funds to do the ADU conversion right off the bat?

When I submit and offer and I believe I can find the seller, I submit to the agent, and knock on the door of the owners house later that night and have a conversation with them.

I often do site visits to the property and then design/draw the hvac/plumbing systems for the building.From what I gather below the following would all fall under "real property trades":"The statute lists 11 types of real property trades or businesses: real property development, redevelopment, construction, reconstruction, acquisition, conversion, rental, operation, "I believe that my line of work can be classified under "real property development", "construction", "conversion".

That addendum also has provisions that allow the seller to do additional marketing on their own including their own yard sign, so I'm not sure what the fuss was about there - though I can tell you if you put a FSBO sign in your front yard agents driving by will blow your phone up trying to get a listing appointment with you and that's a whole other conversation.

Drop me a message, and let's spark some fruitful conversations!
