We have an amazing realtor who helped us find the property and helped us run numbers on possible ARV, @KiKi Wood. 

I am thrilled to join this community as I embark on my journey into the world of real estate investing while I’m new to this field, I am able to learn connect with experienced investors and share my progress along the way.

I've half-thought about the possibility of doing a couple of flips in the same micro-market by adding ADU's. 

Though many investors bend the rules and possibly don't get caught, you have the financial situation to do it correctly.

You can use form 3115 to catch up with any depreciation not previously calculated.If you have a condo, it is possible that there is no land allocation.Furthermore, if there were any assessments made by the Condo Association, you want to factor those in as well.

I have been able to take my real estate portfolio to a level in which i really didn't think possible and educate myself on so many things not only in real estate but in creating wealth throughout the power of networking with others that have experience and proven track records in other types of businesses.

It's certainly possible all of those individuals and others are just working on burnishing their interests so people come to them to buy stuff, but in general if you're anywhere reasonably active here without trying to sell people on investing in you, you're not likely to be a pitchman.  

When we were getting our own kitchen remodeled in our house a few months ago, we asked the contractor if he would be able to possibly fix that cupboard door at our rental property.

That said, for those who do have their day job still, keep it as long as possible.

So I would suggest keeping your STR property geographically close and doing as much as possible to keep your profit% high as possible.As far as the actual house you use, I would just say - be honest, be fair and strive for the best area, most amenities, cleanest house, best communication, and any other extras you can get.
