Does anyone have any ideas for some investing related side work or know of any investors that need some remote help with their business?

You are considering putting a tiny home on your existing property as an ADU or using that money to save up and buy the next investment property and wondering which would be the wiser choice.I think ADUs can help provide additional, much needed, housing.

But by putting in the work myself and leveraging my skills, I was able to save a lot on labor costs.

That's a good idea.

My thought is to take a compiled list of property addresses saved in Excel and then run data scrape from Zillow and Redfin on each of those addresses, pulling the property details back into excel and into the appropriate table I have set up. 

Save for a house hack in the meantime.

Do your research and run some numbers, but if you can buy a 4br house, rent out the other three rooms and be left with a very small mortgage payment, you can start saving for the next one and then rinse and repeat every few years. 

The benefit of this is that you are not paying Hard Money rates so in long term there is a lot of savings going this route.

If there is little or no appreciation, every investment dollar must come from your savings.
