Quote from @Sarah R Pullen: My husband and I are trying to form our goals for real estate investing over the next several years but are feeling like we need advice on what options our best based on our unique situation and objectives. 

And I feel the ideal portfolio can benefit from the diversification of both.I feel directly owned properties are great because they give me maximum control and the ability to tweak them exactly how I want.

@Doug Henderson Feel free to send me a DM and I can send you some resources.

If your units meet the qualifications of no-fault eviction, I would start the termination process over (because may 25 was so recently I would not gamble and try to amend existing notice that may be found not to be compliant with ab1482).  

You are considering putting a tiny home on your existing property as an ADU or using that money to save up and buy the next investment property and wondering which would be the wiser choice.I think ADUs can help provide additional, much needed, housing.

Considering your existing business experience.

Feel free to give me a shout if you are interested in Toledo.

And not even posts where users give me and/or BiggerPockets negative feedback, no matter how much I do not like the posts, or how untruthful I personally feel them to be.

Im using existing equity and cash to fund my investment.

I think this is a calculation a lot of homeowners are making right now--especially if they have a low interest mortgage, equity, and their house will cashflow as a rental.The choice is a personal one of course, but I think your future self will thank you if you pull out some equity from your existing home with a HELOC for the downpayment on the next house and a cushion renting your current home, use a property manager as you have other things to do, and buy the next house and do the same thing again.
