I intend to get a single family residence, add an ADU, live myself in the residence and rent out the ADU as a studio apartment long term.I have checked my city's ADU laws and long term renting is permitted.Question : can I obtain the REP status while maintaining the ADU while it is in my primary residence?

It takes enough of your margin, which you don't have because you put so little down in this market.

However, I haven't been able to find any official information confirming whether this is legal or if it violates any laws.I'm hoping someone here might have experience with this or know of a reliable source that can clarify the legality of contacting a tenant's commanding officer.

Of course, I have to go through and double check it's work.

The key to investing out of state is finding a good property manager.  

@Jack PasmoreGIGO garbage in garbage out. 

The most information in this thread is not accurate.

@Brian King What about something like this for a fix/flip in Smoketown: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/822-S-Hanc...

My thoughts on this platform are that it's another money grab.
