ANY responses that help me refine my vision and learn different perspectives are appreciated beyond measure. 

By any measure, my portfolio is comprised of “cashflowing” properties that are well over the 1% rule and hit all the common ROI targets (on paper) you’ll see mentioned on BP.

True, I never built anything more than a treehouse when I was eleven, but technically a treehouse is a house so…All I had to do was work with Honomobo to finalize the design, get architectural drawings, receive HOA approval, get a county building permit, get a driveway permit, clear trees for a build site, find a logging truck to take those trees to a lumber mill, find a mill, find someone to take the lumber from the mill to my house, dry the lumber, take a semester of woodworking to learn how to make furniture, engineer/permit/build a septic system, get a well permitted and drilled, install a well pump, learn what a pitless is, install a water line from the pump to the foundation, install a pressure tank, connect the house plumbing to the septic and pressure tank, get the the power company to permit and install a podium for power on site, run power to the foundation, connect the power to the house, engineer a foundation, excavate, get two different sized steel wet plates fabricated, pour said foundation with wet plates mounted all at the same elevation in twenty-five precise locations, hire a crane, hire rigger, hire a welder, build a retaining wall because the dropoff from house to ground level was higher than expected, insulate the crawl space on my own by watching a YouTube video to learn how to load .22 caliber cartridges into a ramstead gun and shoot two and a half inch nails through insulation board into my foundation, badger a supply company until they finally delivered the right insulation board, get them to take away the wrong insulation board they brought that was broken by the wind and scattered into pieces all over the property, find an illusive 3x3 foot crawlspace door, learn how to use a core drill to make a four and a half inch hole in my foundation to install a code required fan to vent the crawlspace that my engineer thought was a stupid requirement and failed to tell me about, figure out what the hell going on when the Honomobo project manager tells me the measurements you gave him of the now poured foundation are wrong, have a panic attack, review plans with engineer, realized the project manager was mistaken, scream into the void, get the last available short term rental license application that had a thirty-day expiration window to pass all inspections, coordinate all subcontractors needed on install day, check with the sheriff about parking semi-trucks on the road, rent a porta potty, rent a dumpster, have coffee and donuts for everyone, oversee the Honomobo install crew that didn’t need overseeing, pass a blower test, pass state inspection, pass septic inspection, build a wooden curb to cover protruding rebar for an unpoured patio, build a temporary front door landing that could theoretically be be permanent so as to pass final county inspection, get a certificate of occupancy, pass the county short term rental inspection on the very last day before it expired to get the very last available license so that I could rent the house to make money in order to no have immediately have to sell, pour the sidewalk and patio.

Our approach for implementation is to break all repairs into 4 categories by priority:1) Health & Safety - most important as could result in tenant lawsuit2) Property Preservation & Government Requirements - don't ignore a roof leak that costs hundreds to fix now, but will costs thousands in the future.

An engineer can help ensure that the conversion meets all current building codes and safety standards for residential living spaces.4. 

I'm a union worker and I'm usually in safety orange and dirty pants.

But here is a healthy measure of living large.

Make sure the lawyer letter has something to the effect of "for your health and safety, we feel it is necessary for you to vacate the property.

IMO your safety from an investor standpoint comes with building a large portfolio.If you can keep it "under the same roof" even better.Less people to speak with and less drama with logistics and correspondence.The bigger the portfolio, the safer and the better ROI will be long term.Our most unsatisfied investors are the one's that own 1-2 properties and get pissed off with me and my company if they go vacant.Unfortunately, turnkey providers aren't magicians or God and can't wave a magic wand and turn 2 properties into 10 over night lolFolks that own 7-8 or 10+ properties with us aren't bothered if 1 or 2 are vacant, as the others are still performing and cover any losses on those that aren't.Thanks and much success

Wait until the government wipes out your business and livelihood with unconstitutional laws in the name of "public safety."
