Account Closed You can do automated lead generation in several ways, depending on whether you're looking for seller leads, buyer leads or private lender leads.Seller Leads: (1) Lead Swiper (online lead search with dozens of targeted searches), (2) Instant Leads -- direct access to listed properties nationwide with a click (3) OfferBot, automated offer making software (I use this every day) (4) Direct Mail Connect (upload your own list or use lists out of Freedomsoft) -- my team manages a ton of direct mail in my real estate business using this, (5) SMS lead generation (I use this every day)...and that's just scratching the surface.Buyer Leads: (1) Nationwide Cash Buyer database (millions of buyer records at the click of a mouse) -- including buyer name, address and all property addresses they've bought including closing dates and prices paid

I assure that's what's happening here, it's a generational thing. 

During this time you are not generating any return from the money invested in the ADU.

In many of these financings, the buyer paid a purchase price based at least partially on the increased cash flow generated by the property being “proven” as a successful STR.  

My other positive is the money that is generated from taking out the loan can be used now vs. locked away until you are 59 1/2 years. 

So, often times even if 1 or 2 of the units in the building are not generating any rent, the remaining rents are still enough to pay for all of your property’s expenses and you don’t have to come out of pocket to cover them.

The experience was really bad as I was getting 1-2 year old leads to cold call that I knew had a 0% success rate and I do much better generating leads organically on my own.

I have three listings, 1. unit with a pool and hot tub, 2. unit with a hot tub, 3. both units together as a 12 sleeper.Gross monthly income (after booking channel fees) for the first unit over a 7 month period was $7309.Gross monthly income for both units over a 14 month period is $11,297 (after booking channel fees) As a long term rental the combined rent would be in the region of $5500.Is it possible to sell the property based on the income generated by the STR business or would the value always be based on bricks and mortar comps? 

But that also means you’re generating almost zero appreciation and barely better than bank CD returns.

It seems like a win-win, especially with the simplified approval process and flexibility for multi-generational housing.
