Had one that we found off-market but things fell through during the inspection (electrical and plumbing issues that we didn't have the capital to pay for and the seller wouldn't budge on). 

N these markets the ADUs in SZ zoned areas typically are given a value by appraisers far less than the cost to add the ADU.  

Tried to get back into the REI game to buy a rental in early 2022, but I was only looking in "A" markets (had a single realtor giving me all the advice), and competition was way too hot, so I hit the pause.

I have been reading a lot about Real Estate and I would like to start small with a Downpayment of around $100K.1) I would love to hear what is your experience in Real Estate in these markets?

How do you market and approach possible sellers when wholesaling or doing an assignment?

Echoing the above:- Know your market: Is it saturated? 

I have never done commercial investing and I am not sure how many off-market deals like this will come along. 

Realize that would be based on your efforts, versus the current sellers, but you would be willing to pay above market if you plan to make a lot more by doing the value add.I prefer to pay below market, but if the zoning is hard to find, if the potential value add is great, or the finance deal is wonderful, then I would pay above market. 

I noticed the Chicago market has changed quite a lot since I started back in 2018.

The place is newly renovated, and I was expecting it to be in turnkey condition since they said it's move-in ready.
