I'm able to live for free in the main house with the STR income from the ADU How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

At Lowes you will enjoy 5% off any purchase at the register which is more than you are likely to get back on your personal card.

Totally agree with having at least 250 to 500k to start . and for those that want to make a living out of it.. you need 2 to 3 million.

I'm particularly passionate about adding value to people's lives.

We plan to live in one unit and rent out the others.

Hire a PM before you find you have a non-paying tenant living in your home for 6 months while you beg him to leave while paying his utilities/repairs and probably a relocation fee  I hope you sell, but good luck either way  

I haven’t went live with the property yet, just doing some TLC and addressing Items that need to be replaced/ upgraded 

Talk to enough homeowners and you'll soon find someone willing to sell at a wholesale price, especially if the owner lives out of state.Driving for Dollars: The last method is to simply drive around and look for homes in disrepair... things like uncut grass, broken down cars in the driveway, or properties that could really use a fresh coat of paint.

I just moved to Phoenix/Tempe from Boston (learned about the price to live in that city the hard way haha) and I'll be finishing my finance degree at Arizona State.

Im currently living pay check to pay check.
