You must analyze all the data (size of properties, # of properties of each size, location of best producers, regulations, # building permits for that size issued in the last year)3.

Obviously if it was more than like an 8 unit building it might be best to hire a management company.

Adding value to your property like an ADU/DADU but those also cost money to build so overall you still wont cashflow.

In terms of mitigating your risk - particularly if you buy a condo - consider a newer building, steel or masonry construction, a unit on Floor 3 or above where Flood insurance wouldn't be necessary, larger buildings where costs are spread amongst more owners, and buildings with a financially healthy HOA (track record of good management, reserves in the budget to cover large capital expenditures, etc).

Is building an ADU a good idea right now, or ever in this area?

To provide clarity about my situation, I am currently job transitioning and would greatly appreciate insight on building a portfolio with income limitations.

I have been looking for opportunities for a while now for a fix and flip to start building capital to eventually build up a rental portfolio.

As I need to register this business with the state and county, should I need to register LLC as "531110 - Lessors of residential buildings and dwellings" (NIACS code) or something else?

Wanted to start adding cashflow and building a portfolio.
