CT isn't cheap so if you plan on doing it there you are going to surprised at how poorly you do. maybe in the suburbs I'm not sure but as much as I know people call us from CT and everyone is rich and has lots of money and things are expensive out there. build to rent is a great model. we build 3 story walk up infill and keep it to the residential side. 3 units is the most units before it's commercial and you need engineering, etc. check comparable and things liek that. we came up with this design a year ago and we sold 10 if you want to talk further please DM me happy to connect. there are some great build to rent conferences. we went vertical not horizontal with it to save on build costs and design to fit on any infill lot. this fits on a 3500 square foot lot. most lots in our area are 30x120 or 30x150. in miami where I live now they are 50x100 or so. but any infill lot we can pretty much get this one on. there are some great build to rent conferences coming up too that if you like this topic I'd recommend attending I'm sure you'd learn a lot.  

@Jorge Vazquez we stopped doing signs over 10 years ago.We had a separate phone number on our signs, so were able to track traffic & applications from them.We were getting more & BETTER leads from our online ads then the signs - so an easy choice to stop using them (also time & money savings).

They saved up money.

I generally see literature as such, and cannot tell if having a part time employee removes the chance of solo 401k or if the custodians just don't want to deal with it:"IRS rules prohibit contributions to a solo 401(k) if you have full-time employees, but you can use the plan to cover yourself and your spouse into retirement."

In my analysis the cost for an ADU in kern county would run about $85K and I have saved about 75% of that right now.  

Eliminate debt, establish a budget, and save.

They are tools to save you time.

To save time we always get an accepted offer before viewing the property.

I never made more than $100k in a year working until my last year of employment, and still managed to retire at 50 with a lifetime pension from a combination of military and public service.

Yes, we might end up doing it faster but I want to underwrite it with a longer timeline since this is our first one just to be safe and we would likely try to do some of the work ourselves to save on some demo and reno costs.
