I'm planning to build one of the preapproved ADU plans provided by the city of Sacramento in my backyard (using a an owner-build permit).

I am hoping to like many others build up a good retirement through real estate and are looking for opportunities to learn good practices, soft skills and gain confidence and build repeatable systems that can scale. 

You’re building up an asset that you can use for buying other assets.I use this strategy with business owners quite a bit who’ve maxed out their retirement accounts.Leverage, leverage, leverage!

I would house hack subsidize my mortgage which gives time to build up capital and would refinance to conventional loan and start my next investment!

I grew up here and for the last 10 years I've worked for a Fortune 200 company in a completely different industry.  

Assuming the building has land basis, there would be a gain on distribution in excess of basis. 

Remarkably, everything aligned perfectly according to my plans, leaving me in awe of the reality I was living in.Presently, I continue to strategize and aspire to acquire more properties, with the goal of becoming a successful realtor investor, further building my real estate portfolio.

He looked into the online portal and said the build permit will be expiring soon.

You can do that as you build cash and your experience.

One of the biggest mistakes I encountered in years doing remodels and builds was when a customer wanted to do their own painting to 'save a few bucks'.It was a disaster - every. single. time.A pro painter is a huge plus to the finish fit and feel of any project, they are just too good.
