Both are for tracking income/expense and generate reports (P&L, cash flow, but not balance sheet) only, not for listing, screening, collecting rent. 

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

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

I see it advertised all the time about how these companies are able to generate leads and allow you to sit in the driver seat while they do all the hard work. 

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.  

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.

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. 

This pond cost about $1,000 including time and equipment cost. 

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.

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?
