Here in Washington you are required to have a signed checklist clearly stating move in conditions. 

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.

Hi Folks, evaluating some Out of state STR options, some markets have primary residence requirements.

The low risk requirement eliminated lots of investment types like trading crypto, venture capital, ultra high leverage real estate deals - except for maybe a very small percentage of my investable assets.Since I’ve already accomplished tax minimization by managing to hold the majority of my assets in a retirement plan and paid the taxes to turn that plan into a Roth, number 4 is not a concern.I do invest for current income as second place to wealth preservation, and increase wealth as third place.

There really isn't much in real estate *investing* that doesn't require much starting capital.
