REI gives you the freedom to pick whatever you think will help you achieve your goals.

I am also new to the real estate world.Let me know how can I help you achieve your goals?

I am hoping to learn here on Biggerpockets what I need and how to go about achieving my goal, starting here in Sacramento California.

And btw 5+ total units requires a commercial loan, which is better than 2-4 mixed use. 2-4 mixed use is a white elephant to finance- easy to do during the boom times, but hard/impossible to achieve during bad times like 2008 and now. 

I am on a journey towards achieving F.I.R.E!!

Given that the ADU should rent for ~$1200/month, it's one of the few in-town investments that nearly achieves the 1% rule. 

Buying a fixer upper that you want to BRRR is a way different strategy than buying something turnkey, and so are the price points. naturally every buyer is going to be at different stages, but being prepared is something that can be achieved across all levels of investing.To recap:1.

To achieve higher rent collections during uncertain times, consider taking on less riskier assets. 

With where the market is now and again depending on the deal, something 75-125 units may be able to be done through an agency lender where rates in the 2.50% -3.00% range are achievable at this time as well.

In order to achieve those numbers, I need a property where the monthly rent is at least 2% of the total purchase price!
