Strategy: I am a fan of the BRRR strategy and looking for 2-4 units in B-C neighborhoods (thanks to James Wise Cleveland grading guide) where I can do some light rehab and refinance after 3 months.

Log cabins are very different from traditional framing.

Right now money is cheap and banks are lending, so those who can buy a house are going to do it the traditional way with a lender.

Electric/lights- $60,000f. 

On the other hand, if you're looking to do more traditional buy and hold type deals and you're new at this, then yeah, I would agree that working deals in your vicinity is a safer approach, albeit limiting.

BBQ, firepits and tables out back, party lights, cornhole, horseshoes....games and books inside.

Pretty much just paint, flooring, and anything major just to get the traditional loan approved?

I see 30% ROIs on the MLS don’t be stuck to your own geographic location and don’t be stuck to the same traditional strategy of renting a SFH to a family

I'v worked with a number of other portfolio lenders of "repute" and had bait-and-switch results so TBH I'm treading lightly here, but so far so good.

Ideally, create a separate gate to be used just by the ADU tenant to access their unit.Natural light: ADUs are small and one of the best ways to make these spaces feel bigger is to ensure lots of natural light is flowing into the unit.
