I also explained to them multiple times, I save money by being both the contractor and investor on my projects.

Is it better to pay cash or leverage my liquidity to maximize ROI while retaining flexibility?

I suspect maximizing the investment might make it slightly less desirable as an owner or at least the renovations might have lower ROI if sold to a homeowner.

Quote from @Charles Fay: Hello all, first time posting and wanted to ask for your advice.currently in the military awaiting a 9-12 deployment within the next 6 months.I will have ~150k savings after deployment, 85k before, with no debt, payments or anything other than basic bills, 750+ credit.

Steve if you can go without buidling the extra garage below the ADU it will save a lot of money. if you can get two studios it will do much better than one ADU.

Throughout my career as a real estate investor and CEO, I have learned valuable lessons on maximizing the potential of each unit in a property.

While metrics like square footage or price per square foot matter, the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall location are often more critical for attracting tenants.Engaging a property manager early on can save you from costly mistakes and help you invest in properties that perform well in the rental market.

I still have enough room with my VA entitlement for a buy and hold in a couple of years, so I'd rather save it for later!

Hello @Yooni Choi,While managing an out-of-state rental property yourself might seem like a money-saving strategy, the reality is much more complex.
