Hard money lenders are going to want you to have success and will often times help you see if your numbers are close or way off. 

Adding an ADU often adds less than $0.50 for each dollar spent.  

I do require full screening for the incoming tenant, and updated income screening for the full group of tenants.

The replacements often lack the experience.If you're looking for tax preparation only, without tax advice, then the worst times to look for a CPA are March-April and August-October.

After 20 years in the investing game, plus working as an investor-friendly agent, I’ve learned that hesitation can feel like a big hurdle but often ends up being the push you need once you break through it.I’m personally based in San Diego, California, and licensed here, but I’ve also looked into projects across the country with folks who sought better cash flow.

High rates are here for at least the medium-term (1-2 years), so deals will have to pencil in this current environment.You may also want to consider hard money for your lending, as they can often fund your construction with far fewer restrictions than a HomeStyle loan.

@Tayvion Payton here's some useful info:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

But as often happens, a certain percentage of my investments “go off the rails”, in other words don’t proceed as planned.  

The gurus and seminars often draw people who are broke or unhappy with their lives, and are looking for an easy fix.
