This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

If you plan to manage remotely, then find a good PM or have a trusted team that can inspect your property regularly - and be ready to pay them.

You anticipate that the winners provide much more profit than the losers, and you end up with a portfolio that produces a double digit return + a “salary” for your active participation over time. 

$400k equity is producing $1600/month cash flow for a return from the cash flow of 4.8%.  

The building is 100 years old, but solid with regular maintenance and updates.

So the duplexes are in more quiet secluded areas and rent to more of your regular 9-5 workers there are more than people think but not much for sale. 

.: @Edward Toomey V and @Tyson Jones What I like about RentRedi is that they have a live webinar regularly.

I put the cash from the refi back into more mutlifamily units that produce more rental income. 

I have people coming and going on a regular basis.

I sold 2 properties that were taking up a lot of my time and were producing very little of my cash flow.2.
