In this strategy, it's important to note that appraisers do not consider the ADUs to be actual Dwelling Units so an SFR with an ADU is not the same as a Duplex, even if all of the features (bed/bath, GLA, etc are exactly the same).

I have a tenant moving out at the end of the month and the tub needs some TLC. Nothing too crazy but wondering what will last longer since it’s a rental, reglaze or epoxy?

After sitting on the sidelines trying to get into real estate investing for several years, I have the opportunity to purchase a 1 bed, 1.5 bath home in a desirable part of the California desert.The purchase price is $299,000 with a 7.3% interest rate and 3% down.

Mostly just went with my gut I bought it during a crazy time single family homes are being bought only hours after coming on the market I had the choice between this house and another the other was slightly bigger with a basement in the porch but the roof did not seem bonded in my Spidey senses told me there might be Foundation issues in mold due to a smell while inspecting the house admittedly the house I bought is 950 ft has no basement and is a two bedroom one bath with a detached garage How did you finance this deal?

Market rate right now is minimum 300 dollars above what I am charging for the unit but my tenants are good and I don’t feel right springing such an increase on them. 1500 per month is what I would have to pay for a 2 bed 1 bath apartment around here and my unit currently is 3 bed 2 bath.
