I've successfully completed a few house hacks in California, and am looking into branching out to the Midwest with small to mid multi-family to scale a bit faster.

Here is a list of what adding ADUs, especially in single family zoned areas,  in my CA market is typically a poor RE investment:1) The value added by the ADU addition is often significantly less than the cost of adding the ADU.

I think the market has shifted in most areas, and "too much cash flow" isn't really a concern anywhere with interest rates where they are, whether in Alabama or California. 

This was done through my LLC and in California.

My father in law lives in hot spring and we go visit him once or twice a year.

Regular Inspections: Conduct frequent site visits to monitor progress and ensure quality standards are met.

CA also deems you doing business in CA if you are general member of the LLC.

I moved from the SF Bay Area to live and invest in Reno, NV because of it being much more landlord friendly, low property taxes, close to Northern CA and Lake Tahoe, strong appreciation, and I understood the market after speaking to a bunch of people and feeling confident about the future here.

You might also want to consult local property managers or rental market reports for a more accurate picture.When it comes to estimating CapEx during preliminary analysis, without visiting the property, you can use a general rule based on the property’s age and condition.
