The wife and I are in the middle of building an 800sqft detached 2BR 1 bath ADU in our backyard near St.Augustine in downtown Raleigh and was curious what you find they return in equity.

It would take me a lifetime to make as much in cashflow as I did in equity growth. 

Some have more than $1 million in equity while others have less.4.

With $4+ million in equity, you could conservatively leverage your replacement property(ies) and generate strong passive cash flow from high quality NNN assets.

Every single cabin I build is a deal I'm going to add 150k or more in equity (I've done a couple of larger ones that have 200k to 300k in equity) and anywhere from 5k to 10k a year in net profit by year 2. 

We lived there for a couple of years and were able to build over 150K in equity with the renovations we made.

My goals include:Eliminating PMI for this property (I’m about $12k short in equity from eliminating my PMI requirement).Stabilizing the garden unit so that we start to benefit from the additional cash flow.

Consider this, as an “experiment”, 24 months ago I invested $300,000 in equal amounts ($30,000 in each) in 10 speculative small REITs.  

Quote from @Yents Ybrimovic: @Nicholas L.I'm recieving the exact 1:1 in equity..

The loan has a payback period of 5 years in equal installments.
