Here are a few innovative strategies that have been game-changers for my portfolio:- Co-Living Spaces: With affordability concerns rising, co-living setups are attracting young professionals and students.

I live in El Paso, TX and would like to invest close to home first before venturing in long-distance.

A good way into it may be doing a house hack or live and flip then pulling the equity out in a refinance.Tons of ways to make money in this game!

New investor living in the Bay Area.

I also never lived east of 33rd Ave at that time. 

In my area these are rare so they are difficult to set market rent, and I imagine get a lot of wear and tear with a lot of occupants living there. 

Quote from @Jemini Leckie: Hello, I am trying to understand the Orem, city code to determine if I am allowed to rent my basement ADU that I currently live in two a couple cousins and their friend.

@Michael Smythe the repairs were never completed while the tenant was living there.

Should I be budgeting significantly more sense people are in and out of the property versus them living in a long time? 

I live in CA and drove that route for years to visit family in Phoenix, AZ.
