I'm trying to Figure out how to make this potential deal work.Seller wants to sell but not right away because they still use the house for some income. 

I advertise via Sabbatical Homes and Harvard Off-Campus Housing and insist my leases begin on Sep 1, Jan 1 or Jun 1 and end on Dec 31, May 31 or Aug 31. 

Also, hard money lenders want a scope of work filled out prior to funding the deal so this is a good little hack to get one as well. 

I looked into this at more than one occasion, because Milwaukee has such an old housing stock, everything is 60-120 years old.Most of the new apartments we see are 4 and 5 star developments with very high rents, this allows to offset the high cost of construction a little better.

@Pat Aboukhaled I would ULS (unit lot segment) the primary house and include a clause in the call option that would prevent them acquiring the DADU.

By 2030, we want to have grown a portfolio of over 100 units, created a property management company that manages an additional 100-200 units, and, finally (and most importantly), we will have established a non-profit that is focused on quality, affordable housing that specializes in providing housing and resources at/on the "services cliff" alongside financial counseling and first-time home buyer education in our target area.Our target area is the Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT areas with dreams to expand to Central Massachusetts (Worcester, MA), Southern New Hampshire (Nashua, NH), and Southern Connecticut (New Haven, CT).Would love to meet up with likeminded individuals in our area!

There is a house near mine that is abandoned.

I’m based in Colorado and have been investing here since early 2021, focusing on strategies like house hacking, rent-by-the-room setups, and flips.

If the house is funky, it will be funky after you fix it up..

The rules and payment standards vary significantly from one area to another, so familiarizing yourself with the local housing authority's procedures is key.
