I am new to the real estate game.

Having the ability to offset their mortgage with an ADU would be a game changer. 

With commercial office space starting to return, I am interested in establishing a syndication group that would be willing to invest capital into commercial office buildings.

By 2030, we want to have grown a portfolio of over 100 units, created a property management company that manages an additional 100-200 units, and, finally (and most importantly), we will have established a non-profit that is focused on quality, affordable housing that specializes in providing housing and resources at/on the "services cliff" alongside financial counseling and first-time home buyer education in our target area.Our target area is the Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT areas with dreams to expand to Central Massachusetts (Worcester, MA), Southern New Hampshire (Nashua, NH), and Southern Connecticut (New Haven, CT).Would love to meet up with likeminded individuals in our area!

GP's typically have to put skin on the game.

How many lots in those neighborhoods sold near that date to establish comps? 

Akron, while not a 24 hour city, is still a generally stable, established city.  

Thanks tons and if this question sounds very immature, i'd say 'that's about right' given how new to this game we are.Thanks again!

So I’m trying to come up with a game plan  Conventional loans do require 25% down on an investment property.

Establishing a good local team will be crucial for you.
