The process for commercial properties is basically the same as residential properties, so it takes work.Again, echoing Dominic, a good investment is a good investment, whether you spent 8 months courting an owner to get them to sell to you, or whether it is on CBRE/Cushman/Marcus/Loopnet or any other brokerage website.

Due to item 1, adding an ADU can require years to start achieving any return (once the accumulated cash flow recovers the initial negative position).4) Adding an ADU is a slow process.

Turns out the Seller's agent and the escrow agents were really nasty to the bank throughout the whole process.

I’d love to connect with experienced landlords and investors who can share advice on getting started, selecting properties, and navigating the Section 8 process.

That violates the Takings Clause.MD can be distinguished (in fact MD was mentioned in the decision) in that there IS a process on the books for the foreclosed owner to petition the court for the surplus. 

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

Possibly already permitted outbuildings that already have plumbing such as workshops, offices, etc might be able to be converted to an ADU at a cost that does not result in the cost being more than the value added.Building an ADU is a lot of work and can be a slow process.  

There were many lessons learned in the process of my first investment.

Follow the lease and the laws in your state and start the eviction process.
