I am not sure what type of real estate investing you're considering, but it sounds like, with your family and busy job, you won't have a lot of time to be hands-on or personally involved. 

I like the idea of being involved with and affecting the world. 

Look for any cases that involve a rental company or have the words “eviction” in them.

@Meena MallikFrom my experience, securing financing for commercial real estate involves understanding your options, such as conventional loans, commercial loans, private lenders, or partnerships.

Additionally, they managed to refinance while the rates were at historical lows (and still somehow cashflow negative ik 😭), so any loan methods that involve changing those rates are not ideal.

your on the right track then.. just compare costs and time involved.. then move forward

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

It just seems odd to me.

Just seems like an odd business practice to shovel everything under the rug.

Though I would mix with antifreeze if the heat is off and your winters involve freezing.
