For investors, this can mean boosting rental income or increasing the property value significantly.

Remember, investing 200,000 into an ADU won't likely increase your properties value by 200,000, but the rent potential is a great bonus.

But ...The first thing I observed was the replacement cost portion of the quote, was, IMO, less than what it will actually cost to demolish the remains of the existing structure, pay for any hazardous waste removal following a catastrophic loss, and actually pay to replace the property in the event of a total loss, even though I used the quote feature to increase the replacement cost value by 20% (the maximum it would allow).

Would it make more sense to move the money we make from selling to a different property that could potentially increase our cash flow? 

Given that the property was worth $390K in its current condition, I saw an opportunity to make the numbers work while keeping my upfront costs low.Instead of increasing my cash offer, I negotiated a $25K down payment with the seller carrying the balance for two years through owner financing.

Property is $6.5M, leased for 20 year corp-guaranteed with a current rent of $450K (10% increase every 5 year).

I think the rest of the data here is really valuable still if you consider an incremental increase.

Pricelabs aided in all my properties (except one I stayed in for a week last month) increase revenue last month (Jan 2025) as much as 27% over Jan 2024.

Why not just save for the downpayment and work on increasing income to qualify for a traditional loan?

@Scott VaethIf you live in part of the home and rent out rooms, you might be able to keep the lower 4% owner-occupied rate.Instead of a long-term rental that barely covers half the mortgage, could you do a rent-by-the-room model or target traveling professionals to increase cash flow?
