Hey Anthony,First off you need to make sure the area you plan to add the ADU in has no zoning restrictions or CC&Rs (covenant codes and restrictions) as this can put an immediate halt to your progress.

“Experienced investors play a key role in the housing recovery”, it said.This is a truth.Real estate investors buy foreclosed homes, multi-unit properties, and vacant condos as a means to build wealth long-term.And now, with rents out-gaining the rise in home prices in U.S. cities such as San Francisco, California; Fort Worth, Texas; and Seattle, Washington, investor types are clamoring for good homes — especially with financing so cheap.15-year mortgage rates with points are below 3 percent.Despite market options, though, investors can find it hard to find banks which offer financing for people with more than 4 properties already financed.Even seven years later, Fannie Mae’s 5-10 Properties Financed program remains a niche product.Maybe you’ve been turned away by your bank, too.Why most banks won’t do a 5-to-10 properties mortgageSo, why don’t all banks participate in the 5-10 Properties Financed program?

There are plenty of CC&Rs that can hinder your progress. 

Hi All,
My name is Andrew and I'm from the Southeast PA area (Philly suburbs) and have been involved in real estate since 2006 when I purchased and "house hacked" my first home.  To date I've been focused on buy and ...

My next steps are to invest passively in a 100+ unit deal as well as find a mentor/coach to accelerate progress. 

If you are not sure of some of the terms being used, use it as incentive to learn what they mean and that in turn progresses you and your goals which will evolve and change with all the info you gather.

These progressive laws are incredible for California.

Thank you @Wallace Pendleton, they want progressive income and to keep buying properties, so I feel like the south is the answer as well!

Still work in progress, the plan is to get funds to update this home with new doors, little bit in bathrooms, the deck. refinance, take equity out for new home, rent the property and repeat.

That’s kind of the natural progression of all of this, but the rocky part was back in March/April when our town completely shut down all short term rentals in our market indefinitely.
