On another note, I don't like the idea of paying all-cash. 

Idea is I may just sell the property the moment the project and renovation is finished.For context, the ADUs will be 2 2bed 2 bath units, 800 sq ft each, 1,600 sq ft total.

(I'm non confrontational)The plot has a native American burial site, which we spoke to a tribe member and gladly let them onsite for rituals and practice. 

Ongoing Fraudulent Practices: The cumulative impact of a blatantly fraudulent business model, the long 12-year run, the concealed involvement of a barred CFO, a new Florida venture also in “money-raising mode,” and aggressive advertising make this company a financial fraud superpower.11.

On paper the cheap houses look great, but the reality is they are harder to manage, have higher turn over and cost a lot more time and money.Buying before you retire is a good idea because once you retire, your ability to borrow money is going to decrease as you don't have a regular income from a job.As you want to fix houses up, why not buy a house that needs a bit of work, live in it while doing the renos and then move when you sell it. 

IF you plan on going back someday, and this is the home you want to move back to, then renting it would be a good idea as long as you estimate that it will cover itself, or preferably, cash flow, which it appears that yours will at @ $2K or so per month (after expenses). 

Which you should always do anyway because tenants should never get the idea that rent is negotiable, ever. 

I’m also open to sharing resources or brainstorming ideas to help you find someone in your area who can guide you in wholesaling.Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect further!

I keep wanting these to work, I really love the idea of this asset class...

I would caution on having a high deductible / inadequate coverage policy with a property in Athens.Dan, a comment you made that I don't concur with is the cap ex on a new build of 300/month, unless it was a low quality builder (I have no idea who the builder on this property is).
