Curious some data points / arguments / etc. other BP users have used in the past to argue how and why a project would benefit the community.

In West Los Angeles, where I am building my ADU, the rent for a 2 bed and 2 bath goes from $ 3500 to $ 4000 per month.In some new complex 2 bed and 2 bath goes for $ 5000.Since the cost to build is reasonable around max 250 K I think is a good deal.Where do you buy a 2 bed / 2 bath in LA for $ 250K? 

The complexity of selling nationally forced us to expand our headcount.

Here are my thoughts about your decision to refinance.Process:Understand your current loan terms.Check your credit score.Compare offers from different lenders.Get your property appraised.Submit your application and go through closing.Considerations:Current interest rates vs. your existing rate.Amount of equity built in one year.Closing costs and fees.Your long-term financial goals.It's a complex decision, so consulting a financial advisor or mortgage specialist might be helpful.

I don't have the skill set YET to gauge rehab costs and try to BRRRR, but I'd like to learn.This is definitely a choice but my option is that you will do better if you focus on duplexes and cherry-pick a few SFRs as you come across them.As for your Strengths, it sounds like you have an excellent ability to save and your ability to bulk analyze data will serve you well to identify big-picture areas, property types, and characteristics to focus on.I like that you realize the first investment will not be your best investment.

@Jason Tucker, I'm familiar with co-living single-family homes but not an apartment complex per unit.
