I have a primary home and a rental near Portland, OR.

The ADU cannot be superior to the primary residence.

We recently relocated from our primary residence to a rental property ourselves (we recently welcomed a baby, and our house no longer accommodated our evolving needs).

I’ve only ever done renovations for my rentals or primary home. 

I live in my own primary residence and that is fully paid off. 

Features a versatile layout with potential for office or hobby spaces, and a primary suite with a double vanity bath.

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

The best way to connect and learn is to be in rooms where it's going down.In terms of captial your best bet is to focus on a primary income that cash flow sufficiently, saving as much as you can and doing something real estate related so you can get familiar with the industry.

@Bobby Short Depending on the equity you have on your primary residence you might be able to find a lender to finance the property in CR with your primary residence as collateral.

As in most things, It's best to draw from a number of resources to get different points of view.
