They said the reality is that generating leads is tough and I should give it a full month before evaluating the results.

These factors cause a bit of anxiety and have led to this whole re-evaluation.

if you're still evaluating software, I will be happy to connect with you with a solutions expert here at Buildium to go over what we offer. 

This is the part a lot of newer investors miss, but if you find a good neighborhood where very few properties trade then there won't be a market for you to find (or even know how to evaluate) a "good" deal. 

Hi, I am evaluating to buy an SFR which has an ADU.

Maybe start finding deals to wholesale, which will sharpen your deal evaluation skills and generate cash for future investments.If you find really good eals, you could even require that you participate or get a piece of the deal.

If you're currently still looking to evaluate software, I will be happy to connect with you in regard to your needs and how Buildium can help you with what you're currently doing.   

How do you confidently project rents when evaluating deals in these types of markets?

I am still evaluating if this is the best investment for me to proceed with as we get further through due diligence and I will keep everyone updated on how things go.

It's an active business, not passive so I believe that requires continually evaluating the property, adjustments to decor, etc may be needed as well to make sure I'm fully optimizing the property.I have a lot of home renovation experience from my own personal home and my LTR's already so I'm very used to this kind of work.
