How did you find someone to oversee the set up and also be your boots on the ground as needed for emergencies once the rental is ready?

South East Texas should have a few experienced crews, so ask around locally or check reviews.One tip: make sure to prepare the new lot properly—things like leveling the ground and checking utility hookups are essential before the move.

We ended up buying one house to turn into a vacation rental and the two other options were one- a stand alone commercial building and two- a ground floor unit (currently occupied with a tenant for another 3 years) of a building that is in the process of being turned into condos. 

I think there is a middle ground.

I will venture an educated guess that if property without ADU has a value of $800k and $200k was spent on hands off ground up ADU, the appraisal associated with a refinance will come in no higher than $900k. 

Outside of that, I dont naturally feel I'm in danger because I have an accurate and grounded perception of what the situation actually is. 

We offer physical site visits for properties above $2.5/3M or if it's required by the client.Around 95% of our studies are done virtually but if you need boots on the ground and it makes sense for your property or portfolio, we'd be happy to help. 

My agent/property manager will be my boot on the ground and supervise the rehab. 

Very grateful to have found this community.
