With ADU's being so new and in most cases it being done for an owner who has no intention of selling, there are few data points for appraisers to currently use when determining the value of a home with a detached new construction ADU. 

The scammer may promise to help the victim get out of debt or improve their financial situation, but in reality, they have no intention of helping the victim and are only interested in taking ownership of the asset.Once the victim takes out the loan, the scammer may siphon off the funds or use them for their own purposes, leaving the victim with a large debt and no asset to show for it.

@Rebecca Cho welcome and congrats on making the intention to jump in!

Understanding the intricacies of the area they’re building in is crucial, as it reflects their intentional selection process.

@Mordechai ChaimovitzGreat points made above along with what @Daniel C. said referencing @Tom Shallcross's post on another thread.The context and variables for each individual investor will vary but many people are comfortable with getting a 2-4 unit that will reduce their out of pocket expense compared to their previous rent with the intent to do rehab and raise rents over time.

My intent was to move within a year and rent it out, but we have been having unforeseen expensive issues that I am looking to get advice on.1) HVAC: Our biggest issue.

I am hoping to be an asset to experienced investors, with the intention of learning as much as I can, so that I can start building a portfolio of my own.

The key element is :"the intent of which is the transfer of title"in law, the intent can be the determining factor, it doesn't have to actually occur or be done in a specific manner.You can speed because you have your foot down too hard on the pedal or you can speed because you are going down hill.

I also think that many coaching programs intentionally mislead a student’s expectations in order to secure more students.  

I have every intent to complete my very first fix-and-flip project in 2025!
