I currently have a duplex in Milwaukee and am living in a single family home that I plan to turn into a SFH rental.

We are preparing our schedule to start visiting, and we sre planning to start with Rochester!

I am ready to talk to mortgage lenders and anyone who can help guide me on a financial plan to rebuild my credit and start a small savings to build up to my first house hack deal in Q4 this year in the Raleigh/ research triangle area. 

How do you plan to finance the ADU?

Are you planning to more projects like this (or maybe BRRRRs) this year?

@Josh Ball thanks Joh - plan to do all comms via vrbo messaging Appreciate your quick response

Finally, check with the Town to make sure there are no municipal liens, Make sure they're on Town sewer, check with the tax assessor to see how many bedrooms the tax office thinks there are, (important if you are flipping) buy ok to have more bedrooms if you are planning to buy and hold.  

In the Houston and Katy markets, prioritize cash-flowing properties that can withstand current high interest rates, and plan to scale by reinvesting cash flow or refinancing when rates drop.

Short term it is difficult to make the numbers work, the cost of new construction and the time it takes to zone-plan-build are usually the main reasons why private investors stay clear.

I plan to live in the multi-family for a year then move out and rent the unit.
