I understand that you are attracted to the Denver and Boulder area and I would be curious to know if you have planned for the additional costs of living in these areas including the large(r) mortgage payment you may be taking on when financing 95% of the purchase price?

With many people's help I recently made my first buy-and-hold purchase of a duplex in Fort Wayne, as an OOS investor! 

Each option has its pros and cons, and I'm hoping to get some insights from this community to make a more informed decision.Option 1: Building an ADUPros:Increased Property Value: An ADU can significantly increase the value of my primary residence.Control and Proximity: I can closely manage and maintain the property since it's on my land.Potential for Higher Rent: ADUs in bay area can fetch a good rental price.Flexible Use: ADUs can serve multiple purposes – home office, guest house, or rental unit.No Additional Land Purchase: Utilizing existing property means no extra cost for land acquisition.Foundation improvements: I will get an upgrade for my foundation which increase house stability.

Obviously each person needs to determine if this is right for them & they need to actually qualify for the loan. 

The tried and true way is to purchase a off-market property, rehab for no more than 75% ARV, refinance to get your money out or payback the private hard money loan - start short-term leasing the property.

I simply need a location, and I can provide a report comparing it to surrounding areas and determine whether it has a better or worse chance of appreciating compared to said areas.

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $65,000 This is my first flip.

I'm interested in networking with investors who want to purchase multifamily assets in the Michigan or Ohio markets.

I suspect they have a procedure to deal with this and it may actually involve having their inspector just go to the office to inspect files and determine that info themselves. 

Purchase price: $118,000 Cash invested: $30,000 This is a single family property this is rented by the room.
