Just trying to figure out if it would be cheaper to build a new place with a in-law apt in the basement vs buying something already built.

Thank you for sharing. 

Once you find a house that you believe would be a good rental, meaning desirable to your target market of customers (people within a couple of mile radius of the place), and all of the costs of monthly ownership that you can accurately project fall below the rental amounts that you project that you can get from your target customers, then you have a possible business asset that you can use to produce income, and have renters pay down the mortgage, while hopefully it goes up in value at least with the rest of the economy. 

I can share tips on both single and multifamily properties, including out-of-state investing.

One property is rented with a tenant in place, and the home in Riverside, CA is the home of the person who passed.
