I have a DADU over my detached garage that my daughter used to live in, but now she is out on her own so if I want to do a more major renovation (need to refinish the floors and maybe open up the kitchen more), I can move into the DADU as well.

Personal residence that has a 2,000 sft office, kitchen and lounge area ( for entertaining vendors, clients and prosepects).

Scratch & dent furniture & appliance outlets are your friends!

I talked to numerous California investors in real life and phone/Zoom calls who have lost money in far away OOS markets, mostly Midwest markets (e.g. repairs, capital expenses, bad tenants, properties vandalized while under renovation, evicted tenant stole all the appliances, property managers with high fees or overcharging for repairs).

Although this is going to be different with a shared kitchen.

We finish a kitchen we do the same we get another 25%. 

The lender has a duty to track their loans and recorded documents are notice of the change in ownership.The most serious problem is when a "kitchen table transaction" is used and not-recording the deed is used to intentionally hide the transfer. 

Cash only, not your used underwear or broken appliances from teardowns.Opportunity Zone Funds investments.

This means the main home would need to have decent furniture and appliances available, at minimum in the common areas but likely some bedrooms as well. 

@Jewell ArceneauxFrom my experience, focusing on impactful upgrades like kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and curb appeal yields the best results.
