Not impressed with other large institutional managers who are very light with boots on the ground and in many ways have the attidude they are assisting you in managing the property, not managing it for you.

A few days before the sale the frame farm house was burnt to the ground and all that was left was the standing brick chimney and a lage pile of ashes. 

Either way I wouldn't do one in your area that wasn't driven into the ground.

It is extremely hard to find programs for 0 experience simply on the 1-4 unit side of ground up construction. 

They are not very mobile and this neighborhood looks about the same, demographically, as it did at the time of the Race Riot of 1967 where buildings all around your property were burned to the ground.

If you go that route, focus on stable, landlord-friendly areas with strong rental demand, and build a reliable team on the ground (property manager, agent, contractor).Regarding property management, it depends on your bandwidth and goals.

of those I like next door best because it is hard to fake and the reviews are easily tied to a reviewer in your community.The costs of ADUs vary significantly for various reasons including by ground up vs conversion, difficulty with lot (sloes, access, etc), finishes, and even the size (bigger typically have lower PSF).Good luck

Pete area  after the recent hurricane and was hoping to get some real, boots-on-the-ground insight.

Purchase price: $850,000 Cash invested: $500,000 Sale price: $2,250,000 Purchased , knocked down, built new from ground up What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Is getting a $500 above ground pool worth it?
