Consider house hacking when rates and prices are a little more balanced with reality.I would prefer a duplex/triplex but I know getting into a single family home and renting out the rooms is more accessible .

You and the other posters here have been generous in indulging me in this exercise of considering this "partnership" / BRRRR, but demonstrating that we can invest successfully on our own power before seeking out partners is not only my strong preference but just sound business logic.As a new investor my head starts to spin when I start to think about investing, and the many gaps in my knowledge reveal themselves: how to structure a partnership? 

It simplifies the process since Zillow handles credit, income, and background checks for a small fee paid by the applicant.Background Check Services: If you prefer not to use Zillow, consider using services like MySmartMove or RentSpree.

We have a 650 minimum , but prefer 700 

Taking the loss now is preferable to paying out monthly for the privilege of being a landlord.

The only drawback from this I see besides needing the cash to fund it, is for an investor who prefers to get all their cash invested back from a deal will more than likely not get everything back at the end especially if they contract everything out ( the lowest quote I got for the ADU was about 60-70k but that was just an estimate and could have been more).Average rent for ADUs in my area:1 bed 1 bath- $1000-$13002bed 1 bath- $1300-$1600Something tells me they can go for a little bit more because I had tenants bidding for my unit within the first week of construction.

Would prefer newer books that are still relevant if that matters.

I have no particular area that I'd like to start with or focus on, but probably prefer somewhere in the south of the US due to my strong aversion of winter.

I prefer public comments here before you send a direct message, though.
