That means we've gone through all the horror stories, scammers, folks running off with money, shoddy work, etc.So you'll probably find few, if any, folks willing to hand those relationships over.My advice would be to test folks out on small jobs and work them up to doing larger ones.

Borrowing the down payment from other people can be a powerful accelerating strategy.

This is exactly why people do not trust property managers.

Hey Alex, I'm interested in meeting other people in the ADU development space. 

Rental prices on the other hand have gone up a little bit.

Ludlow is a special place and those who know about it and can get their hands on a property to STR are very lucky.

(edit: the property can have up to 3 units built on it...house with attached separate apartment + unattached ADU)Of course, other people are telling me to park my cash in a high yield savings account and just chill LOL, but I'm not really comfortable with that either as an investment strategy.
