If you’re serious about buying properties and doing real estate, then I would suggest working with the CPA that understands real estate even if the services cost more than your average H&R Block or some TurboTax program you can buy.

In my experience, the average Section 8 resident behaves differently than the average market rate resident, and the government-backed rent is not worth the added hassle.  

Ok so a diff path then my previous post.I also wanted to invest in real estate but just assume( and bet is probably true) that most of the people that find truly good investments have  either or all of the following the most "average joes" don't:1.

They will give you a few minutes of their time and tell you if their products are right for you.

@Danielle Levy a lot of questions regarding your accusations:1) What are the average Days On Market (DOM) for rentals in this "hot" market?

It’s super important you prioritize the end product: something that gets the job done well as an STR.  

@Nicole ShoafYou are correct and have equity locked up in those units, a good lender can give you options on HELOCs or other loan products that could help get some equity out without selling.

A 1200sqft detached ADU would prob consume 25-30% the rate of the main house making it about approx 15% lacking in producing enough power for equal production to usage on the entire property. 

Seller has 100% responsibility for revenue production, buyer has no controls of revenue production, it impedes the operations, etc etc.. 

There are some very aggressive investors that refi into interest only products to free up even more cash in the short term - this can be much more risky though, so not recommended if you are not very experienced and have large reserves.
