Quote from @Brandi Jefferson: Hi Jaycee,Tampa doesn't have much inventory on MF, so I'm starting my research outside my market, and learning what I would need to make that happen, since house hacking is likely not an option.

You'll definitely need more time to get things processed.

Consider temporary work if needed and be proactive in finding new leads.2.

By the time we get to a seller who wants / needs to sell we are normally burnt out and arent being the best versions of ourselves.

You’ll likely need to look beyond the city limits (in areas that are still close enough to the city to benefit from its local economic tailwinds) if you want to find deals that pencil out.

I think the important takeaway is that you need to know what's going on in your local market.

Have a hard money lender ready in case you need them.

Steve if you can go without buidling the extra garage below the ADU it will save a lot of money. if you can get two studios it will do much better than one ADU.

Thanks so much!

You'll need to hire a title company to find out.
