Your clients will be coming to you for your expertise on what is likely their biggest asset and investment of their lives and keeping yourself up to date on the news and learning from others experiences is invaluable!

I´ve read books, listened to a lot of podcasts but would love to actually start investing. 

Thanks to all your replies so far, especially @Danielle Ruffin for sharing your experiences.

I see on LA County guidelines and CA HCD guidelines that, when converting a detached accessory structure into an ADU, the structure can be expanded by up to 150 sq ft in order to accommodate ingress/egress.Does anyone have experience with using the 150 sq feet rule?

Thanks for the info, and I would think a prospective seller would likely hesitate to use a listing agent that is unable to list their house on the MLS.I read that some virtual brokerages will allow you to join them without being a Realtor and list properties on MLS through them.

In my experience, only about 75% of these huge closing credits can actually be utilized and the majority of that goes to egregious "upgrade" fees to the builder anyhow. 

Have you read it?

It's part of the business and definitely a learning experience. 

Anyone have any experience with buy and hold multi family properties in Watertown NY (or even the surrounding areas of Clayton NY and Thousand Islands)? 

If so, how was your experience?
