When I investigated, someone else had gained access to it and created an ad campaign.

Everyone is going to be able to goggle the address as see what HUD had the property listed for and with a little investigation can find out approximately how much you bid for the property(Prior to closing)  For example, a property is on the market for $100,000 and you get it under contract for $80000 or so you could illustrate value by wholesaling it for $90000 and an investor might perceive that as a value

That brings me to my next point: The area you should start investing in depends very much on what your investi g goal is, so: Define your goal.

I've included a preliminary floorplan below.My goal with this ADU is flexibility in terms of renting it out either short-, medium- or long-term rental in the future for income, as well as maximizing resale value (main property is 1300 sq ft 3/2) to someone probably with an investor mindset who would want to house hack.My main concern is whether it's a good idea to have 3 en-suites at the expense of having a small living room/kitchen area.

For extra formality, put it on a nice document with your letterhead.Re: Non-Binding Letter of Intent to Purchase Real Property Located at [Property Address]Dear [Recipient's Name]:This non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") is submitted by [Your Name] (the "Buyer") to [Recipient's Name] (the "Seller") with the intention of setting forth certain preliminary terms and conditions for the proposed acquisition of the real property located at [Property Address], inclusive of all improvements, appurtenances, and fixtures thereon (the "Property").Purchase PriceThe Buyer hereby proposes to purchase the Property for a total consideration of $[Amount] (the "Purchase Price"), which shall be subject to adjustment based on the results of the due diligence investigations and final negotiations.Earnest Money DepositContingent upon the execution of a definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "PSA"), the Buyer shall deposit earnest money in the amount of $[Amount] (the "Earnest Money") into an escrow account designated by the mutual agreement of the parties.

It's a matter of investigating the cost and seeing if it's worth it.

Every unattended death (no one else present) is investigated.

This is a great place to learn and further investigate investing in real estate.

However, this is a serious violation on the part of both parties and I am sure the Housing Authority Integrity Officer would investigate.
