I know that you do a great job smoothing out any "rough spots" in the lending process, so that certainly helps when the deal starts to go sideways... 

Then start analyzing deals so you get comfortable with that process.

This process can be uncomfortable at times but can also be rewarding.

In anything you do, make sure you do your do diligence and hire the right professionals to walk you through its steps.Hope that helps.

I would caution you with searching for lenders as those that don't follow a draw process or will lend on anything may not actually be a lender and trying to scam you.

It’s an interesting approach, but ensuring a strong screening process and a legally solid agreement is key.

In the process of analyzing deals, I reached out a property manager for his fees.

The seller is out of state and even visited the project a few times to check on the progress which I think helped him feel good about the whole deal as well. technology made the whole process a lot easier in the interim.

And I provide solid returns for my private lenders in the process.

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.
