Potential redevelopment or ADU play. 

Interesting - I think it may be a good idea to run full returns on your properties - cashflow, plus loan paydown, potentially appreciation and tax benefits.

My strategist explained possible implications could be (1) longer initial vacancy (~60 days), and (2) potential for PM team to not perform well (as there was not yet a proven track record of their work with RTR).After much discussion, we pivoted to a townhouse in Dundee, FL.

Expand your network, educate potential investors, and leverage social media to increase your reach and influence.

I am working to get all of the numbers straight and potentially extend or move to a new lender to push this through.  

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

Any potential leads would be appreciated. 

Again, if your $250k is true, and includes all the electrical upgrades, new plumbing runs, potentially new foundation pour (since I assume the existing garage slab is not capable of supporting a new two story house), I am guessing since I don't know the market, but assume you will have a lot of equity by completing the project.

I could take on a job that pays a lot better, however, my current job gives me a lot of spare time that I can pour into real estate investing (at least 30 hours a week, potentially more at times).

As interest rates rise, they naturally cut into potential cash flow on a property.
