You do not want to miss Cory’s unique strategy for using “debt-quity” to get deals brought to him before anyone else!

I know the podcasts talk about unique rental opportunities that some investors delve into so I'm hoping you all may have some leads!

I do however, think that it would present a very unique opportunity for a buyer with children whom wants to relocate from the city (easy commute in) and perhaps have additional rental income, OR move the in-laws into the ADU. 

Like business credit for startups, personal loans for the self employed, and so many other unique financing options. 

The reason is I know which lenders:- do a good job- stay on top of the necessary tasks- know how to be creative within the rules (some people don't fit into the standard mold of a buyer, and some lenders don't know how to get them approved, and some lenders know how to get them approved)- and which lenders can actually close deals.Another reason is, when someone wants to house hack, not all lenders are experienced in it.

Check out socketsite.comLuxury condos aren't doing hot in SF and there's some examples on that site that are interesting.I think the key here is that it's specific condos some of which were likely overpaid and now we're seeing true value but it's more of unique situation then city wide trend. 

Every market is completely unique and the prices for materials, labor, permits, etc... will vary somewhat from place to place, so you're probably not going to get a really precise answer on this one, but I'll try to point you in the right direction.The number 1 rule is spend less than what you can sell for, while still having a marketable and desirable property that will generate a profit. 

It's a duplex (3/2, 2/1) that needs a complete cosmetic overhaul + HVAC, but has a lot of character (exposed brick, large deck, unique rooms, etc.). 

Must be flexible to do what ever needed ... and must be reliable and able to complete task from start to finish.

I actually pay all of the utilities (it's a unique property) and they're already connected, so this is not relevant.Any advice is appreciated as always.
