@Kenzer Hodgson For your STR, an umbrella policy can provide liability coverage, but an LLC offers additional asset protection by separating your personal and business assets, which can be valuable in case of lawsuits or audits.

This was not what I was interested in doing and when I voiced that I was interested in 5-20 unit deals and had the funding for that in place I just got additional push back for buying the larger buildings.

Or in this case the additional tax on investment real estate in SC. 

In addition to those I would also suggest making a commitment to going to local meet ups and networking events in your area.

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential.

They attract artists, creatives, and people who appreciate a vibrant urban lifestyle.Real Estate Appreciation (Historically): @Dan H. points this out with his bathroom addition.

Either way it would be a grey area, selling a house with a different amount of units/bedroom/bathroom seems extreme though. its an auction site, I have seen auction sites miss the fact there was additional lots in a sale.

IMO this is much too little additional return to put your personal residence at risk.  

In most single family zoned areas adding a single ADU is not a value add meaning it will not add more value than the hands off cost of the addition.  

Every property i use it i make additional tweaks.
