Part of the investment thesis was getting it for a bargain, then building an ADU complex on it as affordably as possible, getting it to cash flow, and realizing value on both the rental income but also property appreciation given the work going into it.If the property will really only be worth ~$1.70M once we are finished, I will likely just stop the project now and exit the house as soon as possible.If you do not get dollar for dollar for projects such as this, how would house flipping ever work?
