If you're in a hurry to pay back their investment, you're not able to buy other rentals and that should be your focus.I know what you mean about doors, because I live in the same area and it's tough around here, but be patient.

Not sure if you have done it yet: but now while in escrow or under contract would be the best time to go check with building and safety and see if your ADU will be permitted by city.

I’ve learned to be patient, there are deals out there in our area but keep your eyes and ears open.

In two years time, you could have over 50% equity in both investment properties, cash to buy another deal if one came along, and a safety net for emergencies. 

I'm going to be patient.

@Naga Avinash RayaYou need to be patient in your RE journey and sometimes it gets referred as paralysis analysis.

Please remain patient and flexible as we sort this out.

The next thing is building requirements, from fire safety to bathrooms and ADA compliance.

Heck, I've had conventional loan appraisals flag safety problems like that.

I've heard that I can't operate the pool, that I need a lifeguard, that I need a handicap access, and that it's completely exempt because it is in a residential property.In the end I chose to go with an attorney's advice, which was consistent with the manager who had managed it for the 40 years prior:  Post Notice on safe use and precautions, keep the area clean and conducive to safe usage as much as possible, and educate tenants on their responsibility to ensure their safety, as well as their guests.I'm not sure if this would change from state to state, or from LTR to STR, but I'm sure we'll experience a wide array of guidance on it :)
