A primary home is not an investment, as it's not producing you any return other than appreciation which you have access to only selling or taking out loan.

In my state, we have to produce an itemized list of all expenses that came out of the deposit within 30 days of tenant moving out.  

This must produce positive cash flow to protect downside. - Understand the upside of the "rent by the room" strategy- Understand the upside of any repairs that can be made to the main unit. - Understand the cost/value of completing an ADU project- Underwrite mid-term and short-term upside cases as well.
