That's why it's not selling.In most markets, your Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO) to a seller should be no more than:        MAO = (70% * ARV) - Repairs - Wholesale_Fee        MAO = (0.7 * 290K) - 40K - Wholesale_Fee        MAO = 203K - 40K - Wholesale_Fee        MAO = 163K - Wholesale_Fee               - OR -        MAO + Wholesale_Fee = 163KSo, you'd need to get this under contract with the seller at under $163K to make any money at all as a wholesaler.At $200K you're NEVER going to get any interest from experienced rehabbers.This is also why you probably got no resistance or pushback from the seller.

You'll have Craigslist, Biggerpockets, referrals, you can call title companies, and even other wholesalers if you have no luck finding a buyer. 50% of a deal by co-wholesaling or joint venturing is better than 0% of no deal.

and to be clear - no, there is no obvious / effortless / low risk way to put funds into something RE-related with no experience and easily beat savings or CD returns right now.lots of folks thought there was and got burned.getting in right now requires patience and money. 

@Tori Trent nope no issues running it for the last 3 years and have been booked!

@Noah BaconSorry no.

If they see no activity at the property, then yes they may squat there  

My second option is no Fixer-uppers and just buy good condition house for rental investment.

The two biggest parts of the BRRRR strategy that I lack knowledge of are the rehab and refinance portions. 

Each option has its pros and cons, and I'm hoping to get some insights from this community to make a more informed decision.Option 1: Building an ADUPros:Increased Property Value: An ADU can significantly increase the value of my primary residence.Control and Proximity: I can closely manage and maintain the property since it's on my land.Potential for Higher Rent: ADUs in bay area can fetch a good rental price.Flexible Use: ADUs can serve multiple purposes – home office, guest house, or rental unit.No Additional Land Purchase: Utilizing existing property means no extra cost for land acquisition.Foundation improvements: I will get an upgrade for my foundation which increase house stability.

There were no “buyer” representation in RESIDENTIAL, buyer broker was only practiced in the commercial arena.
