I then bought another SFR, a couple of duplexes, a 4-plex and invested as a partner in a 13 unit.

You want to work with private money, not residential mortgage companies for investment properties.

However, I'm in the middle of a cash-out refinance of an investment property I already own.

Make sure you know the value the ADU will add to the property before building the ADU. 2) the financing on an ADU is typically far worse than for initial investment property acquisition or is often not leveraged by the ADU (HELOC, cash out refi, etc).

That could be a good opportunity, but underwriting of a seller-financed fix-and-flip deal requires careful analysis.

Whether it’s buy-and-hold, fix-and-flip, or short-term rentals, there seems to be a lot of potential here.For those already investing in the area, what have you seen?

I don't care how he jiggles on the back end.

If you are new and out-of-state, you are behind the 8-ball for sure and need to be very careful.

I'm thinking about investing into section 8  housing in STL and I'm new to this game.
