@Jack Cottrelli get nervous when new investors buy random properties out of state.this is below the median price in KC, so i am assuming it may be in a more challenging neighborhood.  

During this time you are not generating any return from the money invested in the ADU.

They are designed particularly with mother-in-law or next generational living in mind.

They’re a great way to generate passive income with minimal hands-on involvement.Looking forward to hearing more about your goals!

@Samuel DioufI think @Becca F. is making the point not that there aren't deals in Ohio - there are deals everywhere - but that you're not going to "cash flow" just by buying a random property. 

Do you see these as a way to scale up in size of investments (and to consolidate several properties into one perhaps) and to make the income generated from them as a more passive income stream.

so if you're impatient and just buy something random it's not going to work and you'll just set yourself back.

A good gauge of performance for a full time rental is roughly 10% of valuation (A $1M home should generate $100K+ in gross revenue.) 

I don't want to generate the immediate barrier you discussed.  

C) This is not a real estate holding but a generational investment in our family memories.
