So on and so forth LOL e Thanks Jay I've researched over 20 in fills from Sacramento to the Bay Area, that I would build myself with my cash.

Green Bay is great, no need to look into Milwaukee.

I live and invest in the East Bay Area, CA. 

I'm in the Bay Area houses here are very expensive for me to start with. 

Some of the top producing areas we've noticed in terms of pound for pound ROI and generally smooth path to STR permit currently include: Florence, Brookings, Waldport, Nehalem, Lane, Coos and Curry Counties, and case by case Rockaway Beach (three oceanfront STR's for sale with permits) Lakeside and Bay City. 

We should have clarity on the situation within a few weeks.Are you familiar with Turtle Bay?  

Also, don't know if this changes anything, but I'm in the SF Bay Area. 

I am a new investor out of San Francisco Bay area and after 90 days of BP Forum and Podcast, I have decided to reach out to Norada last month and I was able to get a phone consultation in 6 or 7 days after booking via their website, Next they connected with me with one finance company that was unsuccessful to fund my investment.

Louisville been my home town for two decades before moving to bay area, CA.

Each option has its pros and cons, and I'm hoping to get some insights from this community to make a more informed decision.Option 1: Building an ADUPros:Increased Property Value: An ADU can significantly increase the value of my primary residence.Control and Proximity: I can closely manage and maintain the property since it's on my land.Potential for Higher Rent: ADUs in bay area can fetch a good rental price.Flexible Use: ADUs can serve multiple purposes – home office, guest house, or rental unit.No Additional Land Purchase: Utilizing existing property means no extra cost for land acquisition.Foundation improvements: I will get an upgrade for my foundation which increase house stability.
