There is another house about two blocks over that I have the opportunity to buy off market under market value.

Non-passive to achieve this level of return.Add the addition of the ADU makes the main unit rent controlled if over 15 years old.the work to add an ADU likely exceeds the effort of a brrrr that can achieve infinite return  Experienced investors are adding multiple ADUs by leveraging items like bonus density, committing units to affordable housing, etc.  

With over 25 years in the field, I'm still learning.

The population continues to rise, increasing the demand for housing.

I understand this is a good way to become financially secure over time and am eager to start.  

Owners are unloading their STRs due to over saturation in this market.  

Even when I was younger, I understood that it could be a great way to achieve financial freedom, retire early, and live without the stress of money constantly hanging over my head.

.#4 - Have someone local that you trust, go over zoom and get to ask them question.

(It was Hollywood and everybody has dogs)2) Somebody tried selling the appliances that came with the unit which included the fridge, dishwasher, stove & microwave.3) We were recently affected by the fires and had to evacuate, some tenants refused to evacuate even after police forced them to because they were "tougher than the fire".Have you heard of those horror stories about tenants completely trashing apartments and feces all over the apartment?

I've used to it myself to analyze all of the 35 units I bought over the last few years and personally talked to 100's of other investors who've analyzed and closed on great deals using it.I'd love for you to actually try it and would be happy to receive and incorporate any feedback you have into future releases.
