So I bought a single family home for 315k that was considered inhabitable.

These buyers are playing the long game—betting on rising property values and rents, which offsets initial breakeven or negative cash flow.If you’re starting out, I strongly recommend focusing on single-family homes in neighborhoods at the high end of the "low-end market" spectrum.

Hoping to go down one of two paths:1- Buy a condo or small single family home and build equity and create value with my maintenance/construction background.2- Find a cash provider to do this on a larger scale with a 3-5 unit building. 

Let me know if you're interested in some of the single family properties here in SA, New Braunfels and Austin

From there, you can move on to the BRRRR method with single-family homes—buying undervalued properties, rehabbing them, renting them out, and refinancing to pull out your investment for the next deal.

 (3 convention units +  3 ADUs) * 3 lots = 18 unitsIn general adding one ADU is not a good investment because there is no more expensive residential development than a single, small unit.

Quote from @Zach Howard: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: If you are looking at properties in the US only on Zillow, and not seeing them in person (I know you are in Hong Kong), this is just an effort in futility because you can't underwrite single-family or small multifamily deals only online.

I own single family homes but would love to venture into a multi fam…Thank you ! 

Look at every single existing and new build.
