One of my biggest challenges and personal goals in 2025 is to let go of some of the control. 

Condo's are ill advised for investments because you possess far less control.

State income taxes: Here's a map showing state income tax rates.Low crime: Avoid investing in any city listed here: The Most Dangerous Cities in America, Ranked.I will add one more location considerationNever buy in a city with any form of rent control.

I'm sure you and I both understand that as flippers, having control over the construction cannot be stressed enough.

@Dylan Jeluso, where are you feeling you don't have control?  

This implies residential units can be built at lower costs than ADU additions and provide better return. 11) adding an ADU to SFH can make the SFH fall under rent control.

Though fee schedules vary by company, generally speaking, you'll pay more up front for checkbook control and less over time, since the full custodial companies will have transaction fees not to mention the red tape of going through the custodian for all transactions. 

Where are the HVAC controls and do both units have the ability to access it?

They cannot arbitrarily make wild gambles because they feel like it - they have to operate within established risk parameters that are approved by several regulatory bodies and internal controls.

I think it would be a good experience for me to get landlord experience in a mostly controlled environment aka I live there.
