Run a family owned and operated Home Buying & Construction company here in Waterville MN.Thanks for the time!

We have experience in construction and have family connections.

I am not convinced that granite countertops will allow you to increase rent enough or reduce vacancy enough to cover their cost.In a typical smaller house you might spend $6000-8000 on granite countertops, if it even allowed me to increase rent by $100/month it would take 5 years to recover the cost.Our tenants seem to be happy with laminate countertops that cost me less than $1000 to self-install ( I have done this in multiple houses).Can you help me understand the math of ROI on this?

ADU additions typically cost more than the value added.  

You just need people in the lending, insurance, property management, construction, and real estate to educate you in all of these areas so that you can make informed decisions. 

It's a way to avoid the usual loan challenges, but it comes with its own set of risks and things to understand.Now, the good and not-so-good parts of Subto:Good stuff: You might be able to buy faster without waiting for loan approvals and spend less upfront without typical down payments and closing costs.

I agree with the above comment that flips would be a great investment, but also, BRRRR, long-term rentals, new construction investing are all solid choices in this area too.

I have a rental property and have invested in new construction and done rehabs but I know there is still so much for me to learn in the space.

I've typically only had experience with conventional lending however this time around I'm exploring the DSCR route.

Furthermore, there seems to be quite a bit of liability having a construction project with no daily oversight.
