Hoa said that we need to change/repair driveway otherwise we will be fined. 

I have always been interested in home construction techniques that are different or older.Container homes, these sorts of shot-crete homes, bale homes etc.The biggest issue is not that fact that they will rent, for if they are in the right location, of course they will rent just fine.

I also review the insurance costs and try to get a solid estimate of coverage expenses to fine-tune my calculations.

My equity position is up ~$1m above cost in 3 years (so i did fine even with poor cash flow, it was not negative beyond year 1).  

Do your research and you'll be fine.

Partnering with a wholesaler sounds fine, but check the real estate licensing laws in your state before bringing a buyer for a commission.You might consider getting your real estate agent's license and legitimately earn what your skills, drive, and experience truly command. exactly wholesaling or bird dogging is not a life time or long time occupation  RE sales can be lifetime and if your any good at it at about year 10 you should be getting all your sales from referrals and such.

If JC is a must, that's fine you'll do well with appreciation and rent increasing depending on the market with in city.

**Disclaimer**: Being young, I don't have a lot of responsibility so I am fine with being more hands on now to be able to have more time to spend with family later on.My what: I'm looking to buy small multi-family property to house hack and gain equity quickly over the next few years.

Biggest problem with ADUs is it's only a matter of time before California starts fining those that are not rented out.

You would have been perfectly fine with a TX LLC given that's where the properties are located.
