For me and my wife we are focusing on building out an ADU in our backyard as we are within a couple minute walk of the new Bethel Campus location.

It seems like there are additional obstacles to success for me since I'll have to do pretty much everything remotely, but an expression that I like, and I'm paraphrasing here, "If the path you're on seems easy, you're on the wrong path"Would love any and all advice, guidance, comments, warnings or whatever else you'd like to share.

Start early, raise that equity well in advance, and make sure all those forms and verifications are filled out correctly.

Also, I'd add that any second position debt, preferred equity, or their brother's, sister's or cousins in any shape or form are at #2 on this list, in really any asset class. 

If it’s very necessary for me to narrow down the terms, a deal could look like this…Last January I had this property under contract for 600,000 as is, I ended up backing out of the sale because selling is not really what I want to do.

My retirement system doesn't allow for me to roll anything over given that I'm still employed with the company and also under 59.5 years old.

You could do a full MTR during the period you're gone, but for me the best and easiest way to go would be to just rent the other rooms in the house as a LTR. 

The same goes for me and other folks who lean towards "yes." 

I own a portfolio of 35 units worth just under $4 million and I find that the analysis, projections and valuation tools DealCheck provides are sufficient for me to make investment decisions. 

For me, the later option sounds more reasonable, cause the exteriors are covered by the HOA.
