Many times they do not realize the adding of the adu makes their existing unit rent controlled.  

The greatest control point is before that first lease.

If so, and it’s not in your home town you might consider living in the dorms the first year while you meet people and use that time to scout out the area and find good places to buy your building.

Only thing you can control is price and making sure the home is prepped and shows well. 

This subdivision will take about 5 years to sale.A State mental health facility closed in our town.  

Tell them you are looking in 3-5 towns, with a certain type of home with a certain type of budget.

For late payments, always stay in control.

I also own a small STR property management company and own two STRs out of town that I operate remotely.

Once you buy a few the deals start coming from all places you wouldn't expect.I met a business owner in town and became friends.
