I feel like a Daisy-Chain would muck up my Timeline or even the whole Deal.As long as everything is in writing and I get my Fee, does it matter?

They were house hacking in Capitol Hill before it was even a term.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

there just aren’t many sold properties in the neighborhood in the last 3 months and even out to 6 months is limited.

I also invest in other assets such as stocks, and private companies as well. for RE agents I see absolutely no conflict.. its their job.. not every agent starting out can afford to buy a rental.. and note very agent even wants to own a rental ( like me) I only like to deal in land when I sold RE to the public .

Before you even address your original question.  

It's against the law in some jurisdictions (OR, WA, CA and others) to even approach someone in a distressed situation unless you are an attorney, a realtor, or a registered "Distressed Property Counselor" and you can't benefit by buying or wholesaling the property.Equity Skimming and related penalties of sentencing are detailed in 12 United States Code USC Section 1715Z-19.

Upfront Costs: If they add an ADU or renovate the property, there would be upfront costs to consider, even though your dad’s connections could lower the construction costs.

However, the units I see myself living in all barely break even on cashflow.

I even bought 3 properties in one day using the HELOC to fund the down payment on each of those purchases.
