Hi Anthony,Regardless of where you invest, I would say, make sure the property is in good physical condition as you will be an out of state owner and don't want your life consumed with lots of little bills for items out of your control.

If so there is no point in even making this change , as houses around 800k will mostly fall in to that category and I don't know if the SFH consumer at that level would even consider a coach house and even if they build they will likely use it as a man cave or some sort of recreation I don't know if this was done just to fill the pockets of some consultants and so on ...

But, I also don't know how time consuming it will/can be and if it would be something I could balance with a full time job.As a new investor which path do you think you'd pursue in terms of having a work/work balance (being able to keep my full time job and invest at the same time)?

They likely have buildings filled with lawyers that can make your life miserable, will be very time consuming for you, and will likely cost you way more than the difference in rates.

Are they forgetting to back off depreciation expense from your taxes or do you have other consumer debts that are giving you a high dti?

It depends on whether you are flipping or doing buy and hold city-data.com is great for both, rentometer is good for rental comps and you can make most of the consumer websites work for sale comps just be sure that your comps are recent.

You might find that part to be tricky, and, for somewhat larger assets at least, time consuming to build the relationships needed to source and acquire.
