I have 2 empty lots that I want to build 2 rental properties on in Decatur, AL, but there is not a lot of new construction in the area.

Hi John,Welcome to the world of real estate investing—it sounds like you’ve got an amazing foundation to build on, even if you’re just starting out.

But I was lucky to get into the cabin building and I'm doing the same with the cabins that I did building my rental portfolio.

You're paying yourself back interest, the principal is out of the market and not going down, AND you're using the funds to build equity in real estate.

At R&H Capital, we’re always looking to connect with other investors, share insights, and collaborate on new opportunities.I’m excited to be here in the BiggerPockets community, where I hope to learn from fellow investors, share my experiences, and build meaningful relationships to grow our real estate ventures.

Stairs are the only way to get in, no grab rails in the bathroom, ramps that are too steep, etc.From what I've read, all commercial businesses/buildings (including ones before the ADA was passed) have to comply with the rules, unless it would be outrageously tough to fix (like installing an elevator in an already built building).Are all these local business just not complying and taking the risk, or am I missing something? 

It's a business - acquiring/building, managing, and growing a business. 

I have flipped new homes and townhomes but phased out raising a family and now am focused on utilizing my skills which are building, selling, expanding a circle of influence to focus my effort on the above.

However, if you're a W2 high income earner or business owner, I can't imagine it makes any sense to flip houses, mail mass post cards, wholesale, or build lead gen websites with the value of your time being better spent other places (such as learning about real estate and increasing your income through proven means), such as at your 9-5pm or growing your business, and your real estate is a long term process and you don't need "home run" deals to qualify or make it work.

Curious as to thoughts on building ADU’S for equity in LA / SoCal market.3.
