My husband and I have W2 income and excellent credit and no debt except our mortgage. 

It hasn't buckled up.With the exception of the one unit I installed, it's held up pretty well.

Not sure, but there may be an exception to that if you are making the home your primary residence - but maybe not even then.

On the MLS (whether via an agent or via Realtor/Zillow/Redfin), so that's where you need to be.Scenario 2 - A homebuyer looking for a primary:  This is most common (except maybe in vacation markets). 

This helps demonstrate that the property was acquired with the intent of being a long-term investment, rather than just a quick flip, which is important for the 1031 exchange to qualify.That said, each situation is unique, and there are exceptions.

Hey Ethan,I'm actually in the same position as you, except I already have a house that has a detached garage I want to convert into a ADU, just wondering when I should start.

With exception of one mentor who I greatly admire and respect, I have spent 1000's over the years on RE courses collectively and not experienced this kind of support, encouragement or expertise without having to pay quite a bit for it.

I would explain that I typically do not do upgrades except during turnovers between tenants. 3.

Then the rest would be the same, except we wait until the morning after check-in to see how things are going since some guests are late arrivals.

I manage all my properties except one so it would be hard to say I don't have the required hours.I also don't have a day job and RE is all I do.
