As an owner builder, I built 3 ADUs and 1 JADU (subbed out the structure build and I did all the finish work).

There are probably many posts that contain similar information to this one, but I thought it would be of value to future and existing investors who are starting their journey.We recently completed rehabbing a duplex we bought for $93k and rehabbed for $75k (in retrospect, we could've negotiated a lower price 🤷‍♂️ - discussion for a different post), hitting an ARV of $190k when our target ARV was $170k.Two things that stood out for me that helped us secure a higher ARV that anyone can use in their next BRRRR were:1) Fix the property to be in the top 75th percentile -> To improve our success rate, we consulted with both our agent and our PMC on what kind of materials and finishes the best properties (highest ARV Comps and Rent Rates) had in the area.

I honestly believe that the cycle isn't finished and there are still good deals to be had, but you can determine that for yourself by doing some research. 

You could rehab a distressed property using a fix-and-flip loan and then refinance the loan into a long-term DSCR once the repairs are finished.

If talking to more builders does not work out to join you on transaction #1+ and you have enough capital and heavy rehab experience along with a GC / builder doing the project many lenders out there will offer you a lower leverage loan for your first project on your own.  60% finished value and 75% LTC is probably achievable without a builder in your company for the loan. 

This is what I just finished installing in my spec house today. https://www.happyfeetinternati...I was recommended to install tight to wall so butt joints can not separate.

If they fail to leave, evict based on the habitual lease violations.If you can't figure out how to do this, or don't feel comfortable doing it, then the other option is to allow them to finish their lease and then require them to move out when it ends.

You'll want to notate level of finishes, etc... but you'll get feedback.I'm local to Philadelphia, so if you'd like to talk more, let me know.

What are the finishes/age of the property?  

In fact, I think it would be beneficial for everyone involved and could really reduce the stigma on sellers who end up with a failed transaction through no fault of their own.But in a hot market like the one we’re in now, where homes are practically flying off the shelf, it can feel like a waste of money to do all the inspections and checks up front, especially if someone else might snap up the property before you’ve even finished your due diligence.
