Keep in mind magistrates deal with MANY MANY cases involving small issues so their rulings OFTEN may not follow the correct technical application of the law.

I never go off of a flat percentage on anything, I analyze the costs to get to a specific return I target and analyze the risk that is involved. 70% may be an initial metric to see if it is even worth pursuing, but every deal should be evaluated independently based on costs, time and risk involved.

Yes you can get in without "military" involvement. 

We have several subcontractors that handle the process but the owner has zero involvement.

Leverage magnifies return. 3) The effort involved in adding an ADU is comparable or larger than a rehab associated with a BRRRR.

While the traditional approach involves buying a multi family property, living in one unit and renting out the other - with rising prices and interest rates; others have considered renting out bedrooms as unit spaces. 

My advice to you is that syndications involve more layers of what I would call "Middle Management" - which takes money (profits you might call them) to fund.  

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

For your first question, writing a scope of work (SOW) involves detailing all the tasks and materials needed for your project.

If an early buyout opportunity arises, I’m happy to secure a solid return for all involved.
