I know that you said your mentor has experience in the past, but you were not very clear on that experience and whether it is sustainable (flipping vs. investing for long term wealth creation).  

The law also states that:"It is the intent of the Legislature that an ADU ordinance adopted by a local agency has the effect of providing for the creation of ADUs and that provisions in this ordinance relating to matters including unit size, parking, fees, and other requirements, are not so arbitrary, excessive, or burdensome so as to unreasonably restrict the ability of homeowners to create ADU's in zones in which they are authorized by local ordinance.Do you think that 300 sq feet is an "excessive" provision that "unreasonably restricts" your ability to create an ADU?

They are convinced that the area is rebounding evidenced by the opening of two new manufacturing business with relatively substantial job creation for the area.  

@Heath DonnaldWhat you did is incorrect and a little bit messy.The owner of the property(whoever is on title - you or you and your spouse) should be making the payments for materials/rehab/etc.Your purpose for creating the LLC was liability protection - you should consult with your attorney but you likely didn't take the proper steps to get the liability protection afforded by the creation of the LLC

The goal is always wealth creation, but I do it by buying properties at deep discounts, then shoring them up with good financing.

It might also limit the creation of new housing if developers and investors are less incentivized to sell and reinvest.

I see Grovetown and Evans booming with the creation of the Cyber division at Fort Gordon as well. 

Local Job creation (in my mind, if job creation is greater than population increase, that's also a good thing?)

Hi ZZ, you can start with (1) Landlord friendly states, (2) Population growth/migration patterns (3) Job creation...

This is researching cities that are poised for growth which is mostly fueled by new job creation in the area (new development, manufacturing growth, etc).
