I am doing a BRRR on a triplex and wanted to add an ADU to maximize the value of the property. I was told by the lender that if I add the ADU the property will no longer qualify for conventional financing. SFR’s that ...

After discovering real estate investing, it caught a fire in me and I want to learn everything I can and eventually apply the learning.

Background: Experienced and diverse real estate investor who is recently discovering Solo K and S-D IRA options for my retirement accounts. 

Recently discovered a very unique and truly one of kind property that is exactly everything I’m looking for and I’ve become quite emotionally attached to it.I lost it in a bidding war a few weeks back by only $3k at the time (there were 21 offers and it went for all cash at $100k over ask).

I love the Mark Twain quote "The secret to getting ahead, is getting started"

But what makes it truly unique is it contains a secret bunker in the basement that was once a regular stop on the Underground Railroad.

If you intend to finance an appraiser will come out and most likely discover the 5th unit.

I started listening to the BiggerPockets podcast a few months ago and have also been reading Brandon's books and it is almost as if I have discovered this new passion of mine.

I didn't feel like discovering that the hard way and trying to perform the contract on my end and risk losing any legal battle and $$$. 

@Alex Coke, I believe "house hacking" is one of those secret-hand-shake expressions invented by 'Bigger Pockets' (was it Brandon Turner)?
