After all how do you know seniors will come to the house if you build something somewhere?

Marry the house, date the rate!

I am very familiar with home sales, having moved 5 times and bought and sold 6 personal houses. 

By sharing housing costs with tenants, I enjoyed better living conditions at a lower price.10.

I first became interested in real estate after a high school friend of mine partnered with some people close to him to flip a house where he turned a large profit, especially for a 20 year old.

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.

Take just deciding on how far you rehab a house…”Do we really need granite counter tops in the rental?”

I have sealed with both situations but not in the same house 

I am looking to purchase a small multifamily for my first house hack in RVA early 2025. 

You have VA benefits to use to house hack and beyond so you want to tap into those, but don't rush the buying process, focus on learning.
