If you're just going in to learn, you could probably gain some value.

I think I would try to get past the one-year mark for capital gains then sell it.

You will gain experience with each project so don't let set backs discourage you but always try and learn from any mistakes.

And it has been gaining recognition as a vibrant, desirable place to live, especially for younger professionals and first-time buyers. 

My main question is whether it makes more sense to go the seller financing route and pay off the principal in 8–10 years or stick with a standard 30-year loan.My thinking is that the tax deductions from a mortgage wouldn’t outweigh the potential equity I could gain over those 8–10 years.

As ground-up ADU builds gain popularity I hope we see some affordable options, like modular, but from what I'm seeing now the ROI just wouldn't be there.I'm trying to help spread the word about this law and compile as much information as possible so I can help investors capitalize on it.

Was able to gain some leverage prior to negotiating which resulting in a great outcome What was the outcome?

LoL So really trying to learn what I can, gain some capital, and see what my options could be for the year.I'd like turnkey and long term renters in place, as that seems like a good way to get started as a rookie. 

Now Im looking to maximize my potential, gain some financial independence and start making my money work for me and not work for my money.

Finally, start small, analyze deals, and build a team to guide you as you gain experience.
