I find the best way to make money is to use your goals to create a math problem. 

In NY, NJ, CT, PA, MA the security deposit is regulated, as well as how much you can collect at lease signing. 

You Make More Than Zero DollarsSimple math: 100% of no deal = $0.00 every time.A good deal, even if you’re getting only a piece of the profit, still makes you money.

Do the math on that and we will see that the carriers are not profitable and they also arent charity.

Hey Jackie, my partner in builds them in the greater LA area and has clients he can likely connect you to to share their experiences with ADU builds on single family lots.What I will say is that, per the math investing around $200,000 in an ADU that is around 450sqft 1Bed 1.5 bath can rent close to $1800+ in the area.

There's no blanket number that will make the math very easy.

I even kept the cash flow number conservative and the math still works, $1K/month on a $400K property is good but not a home run by any means. 

I recommend a simple spreadsheet to check your math and it will make it simple to adjust each year.End the complaints.

You take English, Math, Science, etc... 

That would mean in so so years networth would increase by $600K if my maths are correct lol.
